Selling a dining table in Lismore
Lismore sits in the Northern Rivers on a floodplain and was hit by catastrophic flooding in 2022 that reshaped the town. It has a long-standing alternative and creative culture, and a second-hand and repair economy that was well established here long before it became fashionable elsewhere.
Agree whether the item is in a part of town that floods, and check access if rain is forecast. Otherwise the town is small and driving is easy.
Ask directly whether the item was in the 2022 flood or any since. It is an ordinary question in this town rather than a rude one, and honest sellers will say so without being pushed.
Lismore, in New South Wales, has around 28,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Lismore
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.

- Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
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.

- Extended, if it extends, and any damage close up
Put in the description
- How many it comfortably seats
- 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.
