Used breast pumps in Australia typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Be careful here, because the type decides whether you should sell it at all: open-system pumps cannot be hygienically shared and should not be passed on, while closed-system and hospital-grade pumps are designed to be.

Selling a breast pump 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 Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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
- Confirm whether the pump is a closed or open system
- Sterilise all parts and photograph them clean
Getting it ready
- For a closed-system pump, sterilise everything and note which parts a new owner must replace themselves — valves, membranes, tubing and flanges.
- Test the motor across its suction settings and confirm the power supply is the original one.
Photograph
- The pump unit and all included parts laid out together
- Any documentation stating it is a closed system, if you have it
- The power supply and tubing, plus any wear or discolouration
Put in the description
- Brand, model, and whether closed system or hospital grade
- Single or double, and whether mains, battery or both
- Which parts are included and which the buyer should replace themselves
Brand, model and system type: “Closed System Double Electric Breast Pump, [Brand] [Model]”. The words closed system belong in the title because informed buyers filter on exactly that. Say clearly which parts are new and which the buyer must replace.
Steady year round. Closed-system pumps from recognised brands sell quickly; anything that cannot be verified as closed system is slow and should probably not be listed for use at all.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$172 a buyer pays is the A$172 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 breast pump 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 it a closed system?
Answer definitively, with the model as evidence. This is the whole basis of whether the pump can safely change hands, so an uncertain answer means the sale should not proceed.
What is a closed system?
A pump with a barrier between the milk and the tubing and motor, so nothing can cross-contaminate. It is the key thing buyers ask about.
Should I include the shields and bottles?
Include the tubing and hard parts, sterilised. Many buyers replace the soft parts themselves, but the model-specific pieces matter.
