Used dining tables in Newcastle 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 Newcastle
Newcastle exports more coal than any other harbour in the world and spent a century as a steel city before the works closed, which left it reinventing itself around a university, a port and some of the best surf beaches in the country. It is a genuine city rather than a large town, and the market here has the depth to match.
The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
For anything that has lived near the beach, check the hardware for corrosion. Salt air travels further inland here than people expect, and it reaches screws and bearings long before it marks the surface.
Newcastle, in New South Wales, has around 325,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Sydney, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list. Around Merewether, Hamilton and Newcastle East are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
- Recognised mid-century and design makers
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.
- 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
Sells steadily with peaks in spring and early autumn as people move house. Solid wood holds value well and sells all year; laminate moves slowly and cheaply.
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.
