Used graphics cards in Australia typically sell for A$155 to A$960 (about $110 to $675). Graphics cards sell fast and at strong prices, but every buyer has the same worry — whether it has been mined on — so answer that before they ask.

- Repasted or opened cards with warranty stickers broken
Selling a graphics card 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’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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
- Note the exact model, memory size and manufacturer variant
- Benchmark it and quote the score in your listing
Getting it ready
- Run a benchmark and record the score and temperatures, then screenshot it. That single image sells the card.
- Clean the fans and heatsink, and check the fans spin freely and the PCIe bracket is not bent.

- A benchmark result on screen, showing score and temperatures
- The fans and heatsink close up, plus the original box if you have it
Put in the description
- GPU model, VRAM, and the board partner or cooler design
- Benchmark score and load temperatures from your own test
- Whether it has been used for mining or overclocked
Full model with partner and VRAM: “ASUS TUF RTX 3070 8GB Graphics Card”. Buyers search the exact GPU. State the mining history in the listing rather than waiting to be asked, and mention if the card is still within manufacturer warranty — that is worth real money.
Consistently strong demand and quick sales at fair prices. Values shift with each new GPU generation launch, so pricing to current market rather than what you paid matters.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$958 a buyer pays is the A$958 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 graphics card 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 used for mining?
Answer directly and without hedging. It is the first question on every graphics card sale, and a clear, confident answer is worth more than the card’s appearance.
Does mining use reduce a graphics card’s value?
Buyers discount for it, mainly because of sustained thermal load and fan wear. Be honest — it is one of the first questions you will be asked.
Should I include the original box?
Yes. Graphics cards are heavy and fragile, and the original packaging is the safest way to post one.
