Used angle grinders in Brisbane typically sell for A$38 to A$230 (about $27 to $160). Grinders lead a hard life, so buyers assume heavy use and check the guard, bearings and switch.
Selling an angle grinder in Brisbane
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What angle grinders are worth
What lifts the price
- Smooth bearings with no wobble at the spindle
- Side handle and spanner included
What pulls it down
- Missing guards, a serious safety issue
- Motors clogged with metal dust
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the guard is present and adjusts
- Test the switch releases cleanly
Getting it ready
- Fit the guard if it has been removed and confirm it locks in position. A grinder without a guard should not be sold for use.
- Note the disc size and gather the spanner, side handle and any spare discs.

Put in the description
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
- Bearing condition and whether it runs smoothly
Remove any fitted disc before transport or posting. Box it with the guard secured, and include the spanner — changing a disc without it is awkward.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell an angle grinder in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
What disc size does it take?
State the diameter. Discs are consumables the buyer already owns in a particular size, and the wrong size makes the tool useless to them.
How much is an angle grinder worth in Brisbane?
