Used washing machines in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$155 to A$575 (about $110 to $405). Nobody buys a used washing machine on looks — they buy on the belief that it will not flood the kitchen, so your job is to evidence that it works.
Selling a washing machine in Perth
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
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 washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- A drum with no bearing rumble on the spin cycle
- Higher spin speeds and larger drum capacities
What pulls it down
- Bearing noise, which effectively ends the machine’s life
- Error codes on any cycle
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- 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.
- Clean the detergent drawer, door seal and filter. A mouldy seal is the single thing that makes a buyer walk away.

- Freestanding or integrated
- Whether transit bolts are included, which matter for safe moving
Sells quickly year round because it is a distress purchase — people buy when theirs has died. A working machine with a demonstration offer often sells within days.
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.
