Used wardrobes in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$96 to A$575 (about $67 to $405). A wardrobe is bought on internal dimensions and sold on whether it can actually be moved — so state both, and say whether it dismantles.
Selling a wardrobe in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Perth, in Western Australia, has around 2.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
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 wardrobes are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid wood construction that dismantles and rebuilds
- Intact hanging rails, shelves and working doors
What pulls it down
- Particleboard construction that will not survive dismantling
- Missing shelves, rails or fittings
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure height, width and depth, and check your own doorways
- Open and close every door to check the hang
Getting it ready
- Measure the external height, width and depth, and the internal hanging height, which is what buyers actually need.
- Check whether it dismantles and whether you have the fittings. A flat-pack wardrobe that has been built once often will not survive a second build — say so if that is the case.

Peaks in spring and summer with house moves. Solid wood pieces sell well all year; flat-pack units are abundant and often sell only at low prices or free collection.
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.

List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Is it solid wood or chipboard?
Check an edge or the back panel. Solid wood is worth several times chipboard and buyers will look at collection anyway.
