What sells second hand in Lismore
Lismore sits in the Northern Rivers on a floodplain and was hit by catastrophic flooding in 2022 that reshaped the town. It has a long-standing alternative and creative culture, and a second-hand and repair economy that was well established here long before it became fashionable elsewhere.
Flood recovery has put an unusual amount of replaced household equipment onto the market, and the town’s repair-and-reuse culture means things circulate here that would simply be discarded in a larger city.
Four things that move here, with the guide range each sits in:
| Item | Typical range (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Fridge | A$115 to A$480 (about $81 to $335) |
| Washing Machine | A$155 to A$575 (about $110 to $405) |
| Sofa | A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540) |
| Bicycle | A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540) |
Converted from sterling at the 2 August 2026 rate; sellers set their own price.

Meeting up and handover in Lismore
Agree whether the item is in a part of town that floods, and check access if rain is forecast. Otherwise the town is small and driving is easy.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer.
Condition is seller-described against five grades and nobody inspects it for you — what each grade means.
What to check before you buy in Lismore
Ask directly whether the item was in the 2022 flood or any since. It is an ordinary question in this town rather than a rude one, and honest sellers will say so without being pushed.

Frequently asked questions
What can I buy second hand in Lismore?
Anything people own and no longer want — fridges, washing machines, sofas and bicycles all come up. Listings are posted by private sellers in and around the city, and you arrange collection or delivery between you.
Is it free to list something in Lismore?
Yes — no listing fee, no commission, no buyer-side fee. What you agree is what you keep.
How do I arrange collection in Lismore?
You agree it directly with the other person in the messages — WishThrift does not ship, insure or hold funds, so the handover is between the two of you. Meet somewhere public where you can, and if the seller turns out to be over towards Sydney rather than in Lismore itself, work the journey into what you offer.
