Used garden tables in Australia typically sell for A$48 to A$285 (about $34 to $200). Garden tables sell on material, seating capacity and whether the glass or slats have survived the winter — and toughened glass tops are the thing to check hardest.

Selling a garden table 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’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame section for rust or splitting
- Measure the top and state the seating capacity
Getting it ready
- On glass tops, inspect all edges for chips. A chipped toughened top can shatter without warning and must not be sold as sound.
- Check the parasol hole and cap are present, and that the feet or glides have not rusted away.

Put in the description
- Length, width or diameter, and height
- Material of the top and frame, stated separately
- How many it seats, and whether it extends
Material, shape and seating: “Teak Extending Garden Table, Seats 6-8” or “Round Glass Garden Table, 120cm, Aluminium Frame”. Seating capacity is what buyers search, and diameter or length is what they measure against a patio.
April to July carries the category, with a short late-August window. Listed outside that, expect it to sit — storing until spring is normally worth more than discounting in autumn.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$287 a buyer pays is the A$287 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 a garden table 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.
Is the glass toughened?
Look for an etched mark near a corner and say what you find. If there is no marking, say you cannot confirm it rather than assuming.
Does weathered teak reduce value?
Not much. Teak greys naturally and many buyers prefer it, though a light sand and oil lifts the price for little effort.
Are glass tops a problem?
Chipped edges weaken toughened glass and can lead to shattering. Check every edge and disclose any chip.
