Sell Your Circular Saw in Australia

Used circular saws in Australia typically sell for A$57 to A$345 (about $40 to $240). A circular saw sells on power, blade size and one non-negotiable: the lower blade guard must spring back closed on its own, every time.

Selling a circular saw 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.

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.

Working out what yours is worth

Lay the base plate on a flat surface and check for rock
Check for play at the blade arbor

Getting it ready

Check the cable for nicks along its whole length, and the plug for damage.
Test the depth and bevel adjustments, and note the blade size and whether a blade is included.

Put in the description

Brand, model, blade diameter and maximum cut depth
Corded wattage, or battery platform and voltage for cordless
Whether a blade, guide rail, case or dust adapter is included

Brand, blade size and power: “Makita 190mm Circular Saw, 1200W, Corded” or “DeWalt 18V Cordless Circular Saw, Body Only”. Blade diameter is the search. On cordless tools say body only or how many batteries, because it changes the price completely.

Lifts in spring as projects start and before Christmas. Trade brands sell within days; unbranded tools compete on price alone.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$345 a buyer pays is the A$345 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Australia is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of Australia with their own page for circular saws.

Common questions

Where can I sell a circular saw 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.

Does the guard spring back?

Test it several times and confirm. A guard that sticks open is a serious hazard, and this is the single most important thing to check on a used circular saw.

Does a missing rip fence matter?

It reduces usefulness and is model-specific, so it lowers the price, though the saw is still usable.

Are blades included worth anything?

A sharp quality blade adds a little, but most buyers fit their own for the material they are cutting.
