Used video games in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$10 to A$77 (about $7 to $54). Individual games sell slowly and bundles sell fast, so decide early which of yours is worth listing alone and group the rest.
Selling video games in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
