Used baby monitors in Melbourne typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Baby monitors are the one nursery item where an older model can be genuinely unsellable — if the app has been discontinued or the camera cannot be re-paired to a new account, say so plainly.
Selling a baby monitor in Melbourne
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, model and type: “Motorola Video Baby Monitor, 5in Screen, Model MBP…” or “Audio Only Baby Monitor, DECT”. Say video or audio, and whether it is a standalone camera-and-parent-unit pair or app based, because that distinction decides whether it still works at all.

The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
How long does the parent unit last on a charge?
