Craigslist gaming ad help

Write a Craigslist Ad for Video Gaming Gear

Gaming listings should separate physical hardware and media from accounts or digital content. Confirm platform, version, storage, included controllers, cables, testing, and reset state.

No credit card required. Free plan included.

Seller review checklist

Confirm useful video gaming facts first

  • Console, game, or accessory type plus platform and version
  • Model, storage, and physical versus digital format
  • Controllers, power supply, dock, cables, cases, and media included
  • Disc, cartridge, ports, controls, and functions tested

ListNestly is independent from Craigslist and is not endorsed by or partnered with Craigslist. It has no Craigslist API integration and does not automatically post or renew ads.

Facts buyers can evaluate

Important details for video gaming

Use seller-confirmed details, disclose uncertainty, and remove any generated claim you cannot verify.

Platform and version

Identify the exact console revision, game platform, storage, region, or accessory compatibility only when verified.

Physical contents

List controllers, power supply, dock, cables, discs, cartridges, cases, and inserts individually.

Testing and accounts

Describe functions checked, media condition, reset status, and account removal without promising digital transfers.

Seller checklist

  • Console, game, or accessory type plus platform and version
  • Model, storage, and physical versus digital format
  • Controllers, power supply, dock, cables, cases, and media included
  • Disc, cartridge, ports, controls, and functions tested
  • Factory reset, account removal, cosmetic wear, and defects

Photo guidance

  • Show console or media, model markings, ports, and controls
  • Lay out controllers, power, cables, docks, cases, discs, and cartridges
  • Show scratches, damaged ports, disc wear, and controller wear

Craigslist-oriented writing

Keep the ad straightforward and scannable

Use platform and exact product in the title. Separate included hardware and physical media, testing, cosmetic condition, account/reset state, price, and pickup expectations.

Condition and disclosure

Do not imply that digital games, subscriptions, or accounts transfer. Avoid promises about online-service compatibility.

Pickup or transport

Decide which hardware functions a buyer may inspect and keep personal accounts signed out during any demonstration.

Category-specific caution

Remove account credentials, payment information, personal data, and device identifiers before listing or transfer.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Treating digital content as transferable
  • Leaving controllers or cables ambiguous
  • Failing to reset the console

Questions buyers may ask

  • Which platform and model is it?
  • Which controllers, cables, and games are included?
  • What functions and media were tested?
  • Was the console reset and accounts removed?
