Used fridges in Melbourne typically sell for A$115 to A$480 (about $81 to $335). A standalone fridge is a simple sale: get the dimensions right, prove it cools, and be clear about whether it is under-counter or full height.
Selling a fridge in Melbourne
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne, in Victoria, has around 5.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
