Lately I’ve been using Kijiji a lot. Since I recently purchased an Xbox 360 I wanted to find some good bargains. As much as I like the Wii, I know that for music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band the 360 is a lot better for downloadable content and whatnot, so I wanted to see if I could sell off my Wii instruments and get the equivalent 360 gear without incurring any cost. So far I’ve sold Rock Band 2 for $40, Guitar Hero World Tour(game + guitar) for $85 and been able to get Guitar Hero 2 and 3 plus the wireless Gibson guitar for $40, then I bought Rock Band 2 for Xbox new for $60. I just have to sell Guitar Hero 3 and the guitar and I’m all sorted out.

I love selling stuff on Kijiji. Even though it’s kinda the lesser known sibling of Craigslist, Kijiji is way better, at least in my area. There are sites for Cambridge, Kitchener/Waterloo and Guelph for Kijiji, while Craigslist only has a Kitchener page to service those same areas. I sold Rock Band 2 within 3 hours of it being listed. I find if you put a fair price on something people will jump all over it. And it’s a good way of getting value for old video games instead of trading them in at EB Games for next to nothing. It’s just generally a good way of getting rid of old stuff you don’t need anymore and to find good bargains on stuff you want.
