Used coffee tables in Newcastle 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 Newcastle
The university turns over student households every year and the inner suburbs have gentrified fast, which puts both cheap student furniture and much better pieces onto the market at the same time.
The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
For anything that has lived near the beach, check the hardware for corrosion. Salt air travels further inland here than people expect, and it reaches screws and bearings long before it marks the surface.
Newcastle, in New South Wales, has around 325,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Sydney, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Steady year-round, with a lift in January and again in early autumn. Solid wood and mid-century shapes sell within a couple of weeks; heavy glass tables move more slowly because buyers with small children avoid them.
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.

Is the glass toughened?
Look for an etched mark in a corner and say what you find. If there is no mark, say you cannot confirm it rather than assuming.
