Used angle grinders in Sydney typically sell for A$38 to A$230 (about $27 to $160). Angle grinders are cheap, common and genuinely dangerous, so the guard is the whole story — never sell one with the guard removed, however common that is.
Selling an angle grinder in Sydney
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Sydney, in New South Wales, has around 5.3 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Common questions
Where can I sell an angle grinder in Sydney?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Does it come with the guard?
Confirm it and photograph it fitted. A guard is not an optional accessory, and a grinder sold without one is being sold for unsafe use.
