Used prams in Australia typically sell for A$96 to A$575 (about $67 to $405). Prams sell fast and for good money because they are expensive new and outgrown within two years — but buyers check the fold, the brakes and the wheels before anything else.

Selling a pram 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.
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
- Identify the exact model and year from the frame label
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
Getting it ready
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism latches properly, and test the brake on a slope.
- Identify the exact model and check which accessories you have: raincover, footmuff, carrycot, adapters.
Photograph
- The pram fully assembled and upright, side on
- The seat fabric and harness, clean and clearly lit
- The wheels, brake and every accessory included, together in one frame
Put in the description
- Exact brand and model, and roughly which years it was in use
- Everything included: carrycot, raincover, footmuff, car seat adapters
- Folded dimensions, since boot space is a real constraint for buyers
Brand and model with accessories: “Bugaboo Fox 3 Pram with Carrycot and Raincover”. Parents research one specific model and search for it by name, so the model is essential. Say whether it is a full travel system, since that is a different and higher-value search.
Consistently strong, with demand steady all year. Recognised brands sell within days; unbranded travel systems take much longer and sell for little.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$575 a buyer pays is the A$575 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 pram 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 fold easily?
Demonstrate it if they collect. A stiff or sticking fold is the most common complaint about used prams and is worth mentioning before they find it.
Should I include the adapters and raincover?
Yes. They are model-specific, expensive to replace individually, and their absence is one of the main reasons buyers negotiate down.
Is it safe to buy or sell a used pram?
Generally yes, provided the frame is undamaged and the mechanism locks properly. Car seats are a different matter and need more care.
