Used gaming monitors in Australia typically sell for A$135 to A$670 (about $94 to $470). Gaming monitors sell on refresh rate and panel type, and the one thing buyers cannot see in photographs is dead pixels — so prove the panel is clean.

Selling a gaming monitor in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Display full-screen black and white images to find faults
- Confirm the stand and cables are present
Getting it ready
- Note the exact model, size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type from the rear label or the on-screen menu.
- Locate the stand, all screws, and the correct cable, since high refresh rates need the right DisplayPort or HDMI version.

Put in the description
- Screen size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type
- Exact model number, and whether it supports FreeSync or G-Sync
- Dead or stuck pixel count, and any backlight bleed
Size, resolution and refresh rate: “27-inch 1440p 165Hz IPS Gaming Monitor”. Those three numbers are the entire search. Add the panel type, since IPS, VA and TN behave very differently and buyers have preferences.
Steady with lifts before Christmas and in autumn. High refresh rate and 1440p panels sell fastest; older 1080p 60Hz monitors are abundant and cheap.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$671 a buyer pays is the A$671 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a gaming monitor in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Are there any dead pixels?
Cycle through solid colour test screens and photograph the results. Offering that evidence unprompted sets your listing well apart.
What is backlight bleed?
Light leaking at the panel edges, most visible on dark scenes. It is common on IPS panels and should be photographed.
Does the stand matter?
Yes. Stands are model-specific, so a monitor without one only suits a buyer who already has an arm or bracket.
