Used kettlebells in Australia typically sell for A$23 to A$135 (about $16 to $94). Kettlebells are priced by the kilogram, so lead with the weight and whether it is cast iron or vinyl coated — those two facts are the entire listing.

Selling a kettlebell 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.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Weigh each bell and note the total
- Photograph the whole set together
Getting it ready
- Check the handle for rust, chips or rough casting seams, which matter because hands go there.
- Clean off surface rust with a wire brush and note whether it is competition-spec or standard.

Put in the description
- Weight in kilograms
- Cast iron, vinyl coated, or competition spec
- Handle diameter and finish, and whether it is smooth
Weight and type: “24kg Cast Iron Kettlebell, Powder Coated”. Weight in kilograms is the search. Say cast iron, vinyl coated or competition spec, since the handle and balance differ and lifters care.
January is the peak by a wide margin, with an autumn lift. Free weights hold value well because they never wear out.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$134 a buyer pays is the A$134 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 kettlebell 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.
What weight is it exactly?
Read the casting and give kilograms. Buyers are filling a gap in a set and need the precise number.
Does the handle matter?
Considerably. A rough or burred handle tears the hands, and it is the part buyers inspect.
Are vinyl kettlebells worth less?
Yes. The coating chips and flakes, while cast iron lasts indefinitely.
