Kijiji Listing Playbook for Gaming PCs
Advanced listing craft for Ontario sellers: title formulas, photo order, and trust signals that separate serious buyers from tire kickers.
How this differs from the basic sell guide
The Ontario sell guide covers pricing and meetup safety. This playbook is about listing engineering: how the ad itself filters time-wasters before you chat. For offer scripts after they message, use negotiation tactics.
Title formula that works in Ontario
Lead with GPU, then CPU, then RAM, then city. Example pattern: "RTX 5070 | 5700X3D | 32GB | [City]". Avoid "Beast gaming PC RGB must see". Serious buyers search part names.
Photo order (first five images)
- Full tower, clean background.
- GPU close enough to read the model.
- Screen showing GPU name in Task Manager or NVIDIA panel.
- Ports and cable condition.
- Any cosmetic scratches so nobody feels tricked later.
Trust signals in the description
State purchase path (local pickup only), payment (cash or e-Transfer at meeting), smoke/pet history if relevant, and what is included. Link your willingness to show a live game. Do not paste walls of Crowmanspec fiction.
When not to bother listing
If you need the money this week and hate chatting, a direct local buyer can beat a pretty ad. Start a free estimate instead of burning three weekends on no-shows.
Frequently asked questions
Should I show FPS numbers?
Yes if they are real captures from your monitor. Fake FPS overlays destroy trust when buyers test in person.
Is Facebook Marketplace different?
Same title and photo logic. Scam patterns differ slightly; keep scam red flags handy.
Key takeaways
- Part names in the title beat adjectives.
- Photo five should remove surprises, not hide them.
- A great listing still cannot fix a bad price.
