Used video games in Leeds typically sell for £5 to £40 (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 Leeds
Leeds is the financial and legal centre of the north with two large universities packed close to the centre, and it has one of the strongest vintage clothing scenes in the country. Kirkgate Market has been trading since the nineteenth century, so buying used here is entirely unremarkable rather than a lifestyle position.
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
What video games are worth
What lifts the price
- Sealed or complete-in-box copies with manuals
- Discs and cartridges free of deep scratches
What pulls it down
- Disc scratches deep enough to cause read errors
- Cracked cases, though these are cheap to replace
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
- Check every disc or cartridge for scratches, and confirm each is in its correct case with the correct artwork.
- Confirm manuals and inserts are present, which matters more on older titles than most sellers realise.

- The full set laid out, spines and artwork visible
- Any manual or insert included
Put in the description
- Platform and region for every title
- Disc or cartridge condition, and whether cases and artwork are complete
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.

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