Used gaming monitors in Melbourne 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 Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
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.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, 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.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
What gaming monitors are worth
What lifts the price
- Adaptive sync support
- Original stand and all cables
What pulls it down
- Backlight bleed and IPS glow at the corners
- Missing stands, which are model-specific
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
- Display full-screen white, black, red, green and blue images and check carefully for dead or stuck pixels.
- Locate the stand, all screws, and the correct cable, since high refresh rates need the right DisplayPort or HDMI version.

- Whether the stand, screws and correct cable are included
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.
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.
