Used generators in Dubbo typically sell for A$155 to A$960 (about $110 to $675). Generators are judged on running hours and how they start, and a machine that has sat unused for years is often harder to sell than a used one.
Selling a generator in Dubbo
Dubbo is the service centre for a very large area of western country, which means it supplies far more people than actually live in it. It is best known nationally for its open-range zoo, and locally as the place you drive to for everything the smaller towns do not have.
Because the city serves the surrounding district, goods flow in from properties and smaller towns as well as from local households. Farm and trade equipment turns over on a working life rather than on fashion.
Vehicles and trailers are ordinary, so size is rarely the obstacle. Buyers regularly drive in from a long way out, so agreeing a firm time matters more here than a precise location.
Dubbo, in New South Wales, has around 42,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubbo
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.

Put in the description

Drain the fuel before transport — a fuelled generator on its side leaks and is a fire risk. Collection is usual given the weight.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a generator in Dubbo?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. Vehicles and trailers are ordinary, so size is rarely the obstacle. Buyers regularly drive in from a long way out, so agreeing a firm time matters more here than a precise location.
Does it start easily?
Start it from cold and answer from that. Stale fuel is the usual reason a stored generator will not start, and a machine that starts readily is worth substantially more.
