Used dining tables in Hobart typically sell for A$96 to A$670 (about $67 to $470). Solid wood and design pieces hold value; veneered flat-pack tables do not, and the difference is visible at the edges.
Selling a dining table in Hobart
Hobart is the country’s second-oldest city and the coldest of its capitals, with a great deal of genuinely old housing stock still standing below the mountain. It is the departure point for Antarctic expeditions and has a strong arts and market culture, and both of those put unusual things into circulation.
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.

Getting it ready
- Check for wobble, tighten the leg fittings, and look closely at the top surface for water rings, heat marks and scratches.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.

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.
