Used washing machines in Brisbane typically sell for A$155 to A$575 (about $110 to $405). Large appliances are priced mainly on how much working life a buyer thinks is left, and on whether they can get it out of your house.
Selling a washing machine in Brisbane
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- Recent purchase with proof of age
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Bearing noise, which effectively ends the machine’s life
- Ground-floor-only access, which limits who can collect
Working out what yours is worth
- Note the model number from the door frame or rear panel
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Run a short cycle and watch the whole thing: fill, wash, drain and spin. Note any grinding, banging or leaking.
- Find the model number on the door frame or rear, and locate the transit bolts if you still have them.

Put in the description
- Freestanding or integrated
- Approximate age, and any repairs or replaced parts
Collection only in practice: heavy, plumbed in and impossible to post economically. Drain it fully and fit the transit bolts if you have them, and be clear whether you will help carry it.
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.

Can I see it working?
Say yes and mean it. Offering a demonstration at collection is the strongest thing you can do for a used appliance listing.
