Used coffee tables in Hobart typically sell for A$38 to A$230 (about $27 to $160). Coffee tables are cheap new at the budget end, so second-hand value concentrates in solid wood, glass and design pieces.
Selling a coffee table in Hobart
Antarctic and research programmes rotate people through on fixed contracts, and the colonial-era housing stock turns over with genuinely old contents. Winter here is long and cold, so warm clothing and heating-adjacent goods move seasonally.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Measure the stairwell and the doorway, not just the item. A great deal of housing here is old, steep and narrow, and that is the commonest reason a furniture collection falls through in this city.
Hobart, in Tasmania, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Launceston, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hobart
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. Around Battery Point, North Hobart and Sandy Bay are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

What coffee tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Stable, tight joints with no wobble
- Storage versions with working drawers
What pulls it down
- Chipped glass edges, which are a safety concern
- Wobbling legs from loosened joints
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every glass edge for chips
- Photograph the top surface in daylight
Getting it ready
- Check it for wobble on a flat floor and tighten the legs, which loosen over years of being nudged.
- If it has a glass top, inspect the edges carefully for chips — a chipped edge is a safety point, not a cosmetic one.

Material and shape lead: “Round Oak Coffee Table, 90cm” or “Glass and Chrome Coffee Table, Rectangular”. Diameter or length in the title saves an entire message exchange, because the buyer is fitting it between a sofa and a rug they already own.
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 coffee table in Hobart?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Do the legs come off?
Check underneath. Removable legs turn an awkward collection into a boot-sized one, and it is worth knowing before the buyer books a van they did not need.
