Used video games in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$9 to C$75 (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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Handing it over in Vancouver
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Put in the description
- Platform and region for every title
- Exact titles and editions included
Platform first, then whether it is a bundle: “PS4 Game Bundle — 8 Titles Including FIFA and GTA V”. Naming two or three recognisable titles in the title pulls in searches for those games specifically. For a single valuable game, list it alone with the exact edition.
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.
