Used dining tables in Wollongong 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 Wollongong
Wollongong is squeezed between the escarpment and the sea, with a steelworks at Port Kembla and a large university on the hill above the city. That combination — heavy industry, students and a coastline — produces an unusually broad second-hand market for a city this size.
The city runs north to south in a narrow strip, so distances along it are longer than the map suggests and agreeing which end matters. The rail line follows the coast and is genuinely useful for anything you can carry.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you agree a price.
Wollongong, in New South Wales, has around 305,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Sydney, Newcastle and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Wollongong
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. Around Port Kembla, Thirroul and Fairy Meadow are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

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.

Is it solid wood?
Look at the edge: solid wood shows continuous grain through the edge, veneer shows a thin layer over board. Answer honestly, because buyers check at collection.
