Used pool tables in Newcastle typically sell for A$190 to A$1,150 (about $135 to $810). Pool tables are extremely heavy and usually need dismantling, so the buyer is pricing the move as much as the table.
Selling a pool table in Newcastle
Newcastle exports more coal than any other harbour in the world and spent a century as a steel city before the works closed, which left it reinventing itself around a university, a port and some of the best surf beaches in the country. It is a genuine city rather than a large town, and the market here has the depth to match.
The university turns over student households every year and the inner suburbs have gentrified fast, which puts both cheap student furniture and much better pieces onto the market at the same time.
The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
Newcastle, in New South Wales, has around 325,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Sydney, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list. Around Merewether, Hamilton and Newcastle East are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Getting it ready

Where can I sell a pool table in Newcastle?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
How many people to move it?
Answer honestly. A slate table needs four or more and the slates come out separately. Understating this ends in a failed collection.
