Used garden tables in Sydney typically sell for A$48 to A$285 (about $34 to $200). Garden tables sell on material, seating capacity and whether the glass or slats have survived the winter — and toughened glass tops are the thing to check hardest.
Selling a garden table in Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What garden tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Powder-coated aluminium with no corrosion
- Listing in spring, when demand peaks
What pulls it down
- Chipped or cracked glass tops
- Listing in autumn, when demand collapses
Working out what yours is worth
- Inspect all glass edges for chips
- Measure the top and state the seating capacity
Getting it ready
- On glass tops, inspect all edges for chips. A chipped toughened top can shatter without warning and must not be sold as sound.
- Check the parasol hole and cap are present, and that the feet or glides have not rusted away.

Put in the description
- Material of the top and frame, stated separately
- Whether it has a parasol hole, and the condition of the top
April to July carries the category, with a short late-August window. Listed outside that, expect it to sit — storing until spring is normally worth more than discounting in autumn.
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.

Is the glass toughened?
Look for an etched mark near a corner and say what you find. If there is no marking, say you cannot confirm it rather than assuming.
