Used garden furniture in Australia typically sells for A$77 to A$575 (about $54 to $405). Garden furniture is judged on the material and the state of the cushions, and it sells in a season so short that timing matters more than price.

Selling garden furniture 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.
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.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame for rust or splitting
- Photograph it assembled, in daylight
Getting it ready
- Check every joint and bolt on folding or modular pieces, and count the chairs against the table.
- Assess the cushions separately and honestly. Faded, damp or mildewed cushions are worth nothing and can drag the whole set down.
Photograph
- The full set laid out together outdoors, so the buyer sees exactly what they get
- The cushions flat, in daylight, both sides
- Any rust, split weave, cracked slat, wobbling joint or fading
Put in the description
- Exactly what is in the set, counted, with table dimensions
- Material, and whether it has been stored under cover or left out
- Whether cushions are included, and their honest condition
Material and set size lead: “Rattan Garden Furniture Set, 4 Seater with Cushions” or “Teak Garden Table and 6 Chairs”. Teak, rattan, aluminium and steel are entirely different markets and prices, so name the material first and say whether cushions are included.
A short, sharp season from April to July. Listing in spring is worth substantially more than the same set in September, so if it is autumn, storing it until March is usually the better decision.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$575 a buyer pays is the A$575 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 garden furniture 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.
Has it been left outside all winter?
Answer honestly. Buyers can read weathering in the photographs anyway, and admitting it while pointing out that teak greys harmlessly is far stronger than a vague claim.
Does weathered teak reduce the value?
Not much. Teak greys naturally and many buyers prefer it, though a light sand and oil lifts the price for little effort.
Are missing cushions a problem?
Yes, because matching replacements are difficult. Mention clearly what is and is not included.
