Used audio interfaces in Australia typically sell for A$77 to A$385 (about $54 to $270). Audio interfaces sell on input count and whether the drivers still support current operating systems, and the second point is what catches buyers out.

What lifts the price
- Clean, quiet preamps with no channel noise
- Higher channel counts and better conversion
What pulls it down
- Discontinued drivers, which make the unit unusable on new machines
- Failing connectors and loose sockets
Selling an audio interface in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm current drivers exist for the latest operating systems
- Check every socket for looseness
Getting it ready
- Check the manufacturer still publishes drivers for current operating systems and say what you find.
- Test every input and output, all gain controls, and the phantom power.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, generation and connection type
- Number and type of inputs and outputs, and whether phantom power is available
- Current operating system driver support
Brand, model and I/O: “Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen Audio Interface, USB-C”. Generation matters because driver support differs. State the input count and whether the preamps have phantom power, which is what recording buyers need.
Steady all year with a Christmas lift. Recent USB models sell within days; older FireWire units sell slowly because of connectivity.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$383 a buyer pays is the A$383 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell an audio interface in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Does it still have driver support?
Check the maker’s current downloads page and say what you found. An interface without modern drivers is effectively unusable, and this is the thing buyers get caught by.
How do I test the inputs?
Record something on each channel and listen for noise or dropouts. A dead channel is the fault buyers most want to avoid.
Do bundled software licences transfer?
Sometimes, and it affects the price. Check with the maker before advertising the software as included.
