Used video games in Sydney 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 Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What video games are worth
What lifts the price
- Sought-after titles with small print runs
- Complete collections sold as a run
What pulls it down
- Missing manuals and inserts on collectable titles
- Sports titles and annual releases, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold discs to the light at an angle to see scratches
- Search sold listings for that exact title and platform
Getting it ready
- Confirm manuals and inserts are present, which matters more on older titles than most sellers realise.
- Note the platform and region for each title, since region locking still affects some systems.

Steady, with a strong Christmas lift. Bundles move quickly; common individual titles sit for a long time.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Are the discs scratched?
Photograph the play surfaces. Light scuffing is usually fine, but deep scratches cause load failures and must be shown.
