Used graphics cards in Canberra 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.
Selling a graphics card in Canberra
Canberra is a planned government city with high average incomes, a large public service and two universities. People here replace things while they still have plenty of life left in them, so the second-hand quality is unusually high relative to the price asked.
Public service postings and university terms both move people in and out on predictable cycles, and Canberra genuinely gets cold in winter, so heating, bedding and warm clothing move on a real seasonal rhythm rather than a notional one.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder and the mechanism. A lot of very good chairs come onto the market here looking barely used, with the one expensive part already worn out.
Canberra, in Australian Capital Territory, has around 460,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What graphics cards are worth
What lifts the price
- Recent generations with strong performance per tier
- Clean fans and heatsink with no seized bearings
What pulls it down
- Heavy sustained mining use, which buyers ask about directly
- Repasted or opened cards with warranty stickers broken
Working out what yours is worth
- Note the exact model, memory size and manufacturer variant
- Run the fans at full speed and listen for bearing noise
Getting it ready
- Note the exact model, VRAM and the board partner, since the same GPU from different manufacturers varies in cooling and price.
- Run a benchmark and record the score and temperatures, then screenshot it. That single image sells the card.

Put in the description
- Whether it has been used for mining or overclocked
- Power connector requirements, card length, and whether the box is included
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.
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.
