Used baby monitors in Sydney 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 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 has around 5.3 million people in New South Wales, 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.
What baby monitors are worth
What lifts the price
- Parent unit batteries still holding a night’s charge
- Recent models still supported by their app
What pulls it down
- Missing chargers, which are usually proprietary
- Audio-only units, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Test the camera and night vision in a dark room
- Confirm both chargers are present
Getting it ready
- Test both units together and check the battery life on the parent unit, which is the part that degrades.
- Gather both power supplies, any wall mount and the original box if you have it.

Steady year round with a lift in spring and early autumn. Standalone video monitors from known brands sell within a week; app-dependent models are much harder and worth less.
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 a baby monitor 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 need an app?
Answer directly. App-dependent monitors become useless when support ends, so if yours needs one, say which and confirm it is still available and accepting new accounts.
