Used cordless drills in Hobart typically sell for A$57 to A$345 (about $40 to $240). The drill is rarely the valuable part — the batteries and the platform they belong to are what buyers are actually buying.
Selling a cordless drill 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.

Put in the description
- Brand, battery platform and voltage
- Whether the charger is included, and whether it is the fast charger
Brand, voltage and batteries: “DeWalt 18V Cordless Drill with 2 x 4.0Ah Batteries and Charger”. Battery count and capacity belong in the title because they are most of the value. Naming the platform matters — buyers already invested in a brand’s batteries search for it specifically.
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.
