Used Android phones in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$96 to A$765 (about $67 to $540). Android phones lose value fastest of any electronics, and the two things that slow the fall are a clean factory reset and an honest statement of how much software support is left.
Selling an Android phone 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 Android phones are worth
What lifts the price
- A maker with a long software-update commitment still running

What pulls it down
- Devices past their security-update window
- Mid-range models, which drop sharply within two years
Working out what yours is worth

- Search sold listings for that exact model and storage tier
Getting it ready
