Used camera lenses in Dubbo typically sell for A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540). Lenses hold value far better than bodies, so the range here is mostly about optical condition rather than age.
Selling a camera lens in Dubbo
Dubbo is the service centre for a very large area of western country, which means it supplies far more people than actually live in it. It is best known nationally for its open-range zoo, and locally as the place you drive to for everything the smaller towns do not have.
Because the city serves the surrounding district, goods flow in from properties and smaller towns as well as from local households. Farm and trade equipment turns over on a working life rather than on fashion.
Vehicles and trailers are ordinary, so size is rarely the obstacle. Buyers regularly drive in from a long way out, so agreeing a firm time matters more here than a precise location.
If the item is coming from a property rather than a house in town, confirm the actual distance before you agree a price. An hour each way is normal out here and it is a real part of what the item costs you.
Handing it over in Dubbo
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.

What camera lenses are worth
What lifts the price
- Glass with no fungus, haze or separation
- Smooth, accurate autofocus with no hunting
What pulls it down
- Fungus, which spreads and is often uneconomic to clean
- Scratches or coating marks on the front element
Working out what yours is worth
- Shine a torch through from behind and look for threads or haze
- Run autofocus across its full range listening for grinding
Getting it ready
- Shine a torch through the lens from the front and look through from the back for fungus, haze or separation. Photograph what you see.
- Confirm the exact mount, since a lens that does not fit the buyer’s camera is worthless to them.
Photograph
- The lens standing upright, whole, with caps off
- Looking through the front element against a bright background, showing the glass is clear
Put in the description
- Focal length, maximum aperture and mount type
- Whether it has image stabilisation and autofocus, both working
Compact, valuable and reasonably robust if packed with both caps on and plenty of padding. Tracked postage is sensible given the value.
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.

Is there any fungus or haze?
Torch it and photograph what you see. Fungus is the thing lens buyers fear most because it spreads and etches the coating, so a clear answer is worth a lot.
