Used washing machines in Bundaberg typically sell for A$155 to A$575 (about $110 to $405). Nobody buys a used washing machine on looks — they buy on the belief that it will not flood the kitchen, so your job is to evidence that it works.
Selling a washing machine in Bundaberg
Seasonal harvest work brings people in and out through the year, and households set up cheaply for a season are cleared just as quickly. Flood recovery also puts a great deal of replaced household equipment onto the market at once. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The city is flat and driving is easy, so collection is straightforward. For anything that has been stored at ground level near the river, it is entirely normal here to ask how it came through the last flood, and sellers expect the question.
Ask directly whether the item has ever been in floodwater. This town has flooded seriously more than once and flood-damaged motors and upholstery can look sound for months before they fail. Sellers here expect the question.
Bundaberg, in Queensland, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description
- Brand, model number, drum capacity in kg and spin speed in rpm
- Freestanding or integrated
Brand, capacity and spin speed are the search: “Bosch 8kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, Working”. Capacity in kilograms matters to families and is often left out. If it is integrated rather than freestanding, that must be in the title — it fits an entirely different kitchen.
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.
