Used dining tables in Geelong 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 Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
On tools from a manufacturing background, ask their age and whether they ran daily. Ex-industrial equipment is often excellent value here but it has done far more hours than a domestic machine of the same year.
Geelong, in Victoria, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Melbourne, Ballarat 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
- Extending mechanisms that run smoothly
- Matching chairs sold with the table
What pulls it down
- Wobbling legs and loose joints
- 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.
- Check for wobble, tighten the leg fittings, and look closely at the top surface for water rings, heat marks and scratches.
Photograph
- The underside or leg fixings, showing construction
- Extended, if it extends, and any damage close up
Put in the description
- Solid wood, veneer, laminate or glass
- Whether chairs are included, and how many
Seats, material and length: “Solid Oak Extending Dining Table, Seats 6-8, 180cm”. The number it seats is the primary search, and extending is a strong selling point that should never be buried in the description. If chairs are included, put that in the title too.
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.
