Used gaming chairs in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$77 to A$305 (about $54 to $215). Gaming chairs are bulky, cheap new and heavily discounted, so a used one sells on condition of the upholstery and the gas lift — and on being honest that it is a collection-only item.
Selling a gaming chair in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Perth has around 2.1 million people in Western Australia, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
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.
What gaming chairs are worth
What lifts the price
- Gas lifts that hold height under load
- Recognised brands with replacement parts
What pulls it down
- Sinking gas lifts
- Missing lumbar and neck cushions
Working out what yours is worth
- Sit in it and time whether the height holds
- Confirm both cushions are present
Getting it ready
- Test the gas lift by sitting and raising it, then leaving it a few minutes to check it holds height.
- Check the upholstery seams and the front edge of the seat, where PU leather cracks and flakes first.

Put in the description
- Maximum user weight and recommended height range, if stated
- Condition of the gas lift, castors and upholstery
Lifts before Christmas and in September. Fabric chairs from known brands sell within a fortnight; flaking PU chairs are slow at any price and often better recycled.
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.
