Used dining tables in Ballarat typically sell for A$96 to A$670 (about $67 to $470). Dining tables sell on material and seating capacity, and the two things buyers cannot tell from a photograph are how solid the top is and whether it extends.
Selling a dining table in Ballarat
Ballarat was built by the gold rush and it still shows: the centre is full of substantial nineteenth-century buildings and the housing stock is genuinely old. It is also one of the coldest cities in the state, which is not a detail when you are buying anything that has been stored in a shed.
Driving is easy and parking is not a problem, and the train to Melbourne makes smaller handovers practical. Old houses mean narrow hallways and awkward corners, so measure before committing to anything large.
On old furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A great deal of what appears here is genuinely old, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Ballarat, in Victoria, has around 115,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Melbourne, Geelong and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
- Extending mechanisms that run smoothly
What pulls it down
- Water rings and heat marks on the top
- Flat-pack tables that will not survive another move
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
- Photograph the top in daylight so marks are visible
Getting it ready
- Measure the top, and if it extends measure both the closed and extended lengths.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.
Photograph
- The full table from a corner, showing top and legs together
- The underside or leg fixings, showing construction
Put in the description
- Length, width and height in centimetres, plus extended length if applicable
- Solid wood, veneer, laminate or glass
Collection only, and mention whether the legs detach, since that decides whether it fits in a car or needs a van. Have the fittings and any allen key ready for the buyer.
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.
