Sell Your Cooker in Australia

Used cookers in Australia typically sell for A$155 to A$670 (about $110 to $470). Read this part first: if it is a gas cooker, it must be disconnected by a qualified gas engineer, and that single fact shapes the whole sale.

• Missing shelves and grill pans

Selling a cooker 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.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.

Working out what yours is worth

• Heat the oven and check with a thermometer
• Measure the width and state it clearly

Getting it ready

• Clean it thoroughly — oven interior, shelves, hob, and under the burners. Presentation moves the price here more than on almost any other appliance.
• Test every ring, the oven, the grill and the timer, and note the model number from the plate inside the door frame.

Put in the description

• Fuel type, and whether an electric one needs a dedicated cooker circuit rather than a plug
• Width, height and depth in centimetres
• Make, model and approximate age from the rating plate

Fuel, type and width lead: “60cm Freestanding Electric Cooker, Double Oven, Fan Assisted” or “Range Cooker, Dual Fuel, 90cm”. Width is a hard constraint in a fitted kitchen, so it belongs in the title, and fuel type filters out the buyers who could never have used it.

Steady, with lifts when people move house in late spring and early autumn. Clean, recent, working cookers in standard 60cm widths sell within a week; range cookers take longer but hold price.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$671 a buyer pays is the A$671 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 cooker 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 everything work?

Test each function and answer item by item. A dead grill or one failing ring is a small discount when disclosed and a returned buyer when not.

Do I need a qualified fitter?

Gas cookers must be connected by a registered engineer. Say so in the listing so buyers plan for it.

Does a dirty oven affect the price?

More than it should. A thorough clean before photographing makes a substantial difference to how it is received.
