Second-hand kitchen & appliances in Lismore typically sells for A$15 to A$670 (about $11 to $470). Age and whether it is currently working set almost the entire price. Anything under a few years old and in service is worth many times the same model sold as spares or repairs.
Buying kitchen & appliances 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.
Nothing here goes in the post at a sensible price, so the practical market for a cooker or a fridge is however far somebody will drive. That works in a buyer’s favour, because the competition is whoever else can get a van there this week. Locally, fridges and washing machines are among the things that move most reliably here.
What to check in person
Take the model and serial plate down and look up the age before you commit, since sellers routinely guess it several years young. Open everything that opens and check the hinges, the catches and the shelf supports, which are what break first.
Collecting it in Lismore
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
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.

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.
State the age, the model number and whether it is working, and be honest if it is not. Disconnect it and have it out and accessible before the buyer arrives with a van, and say clearly whether you can help lift it. Turns over steadily, with a clear lift through the summer moving season.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
