Used circular saws in Sydney 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 Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
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.

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.
