Used BBQ grills in Australia typically sell for A$77 to A$480 (about $54 to $335). Barbecues sell in a narrow window and almost entirely on how clean the cooking surface looks — and the gas bottle is a separate problem you need to plan for.

Selling a BBQ grill in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Light it and check every burner lights evenly
- Confirm the regulator and hose are present
Getting it ready
- On gas models, check the burners for rust-through and the igniter for a spark, and inspect the hose and regulator for perishing.
- Decide what happens to the gas bottle. Cylinders cannot be posted, most are exchange-only property of the supplier, and a part-full one should never be handed over casually.

Put in the description
- Fuel type, and burner count or cooking diameter
- Overall dimensions, and whether it is on wheels
- Whether a cover, thermometer, tools or side burner are included
Fuel, size and brand: “Weber Spirit 3 Burner Gas BBQ, with Cover” or “Charcoal Kettle BBQ, 57cm”. Burner count is the search on gas models and diameter on kettles. Say whether a cover, tools or cylinder are included, because buyers assume they are and are disappointed otherwise.
Almost the whole market runs from April to July, with a short second window in late August. A clean barbecue listed in May sells within days; the same one in October may not sell at all.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$479 a buyer pays is the A$479 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a BBQ grill in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Is the gas bottle included?
Say plainly in the listing. Cylinders are usually the supplier’s property on an exchange scheme, and a buyer expecting a full bottle who gets none has a real grievance.
What fails first on a gas barbecue?
The burners rust through, showing as uneven flame or flare-ups. Replacements are available for most recognised brands.
Do I need to include the gas bottle?
No, and many sellers do not. But include the regulator and hose, since those are specific to the barbecue.
