Used monitors in Australia typically sell for A$77 to A$420 (about $54 to $295). Monitors sell on size, resolution and panel condition, and the only way to prove the panel is clean is to photograph it displaying solid colours.

What lifts the price

- Dead or stuck pixels, which buyers check first
- Missing stand, which is model-specific and awkward to replace
Selling a monitor 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 Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
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.
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
- Display a full-screen black and a full-screen white image to find pixel faults
- Check the stand and all cables are present
Getting it ready
- Note the size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type from the menu or the rear label.
- Find the stand, its screws and the correct cable, and check whether it is VESA compatible.
Photograph
- The monitor on, displaying a normal image, straight on
- The rear label with model number
- The stand, cables and any bezel or screen mark
Put in the description
- Screen size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type
- Available inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB-C
- Whether the stand and correct cable are included, and VESA compatibility
Size, resolution and panel: “24in 1080p IPS Monitor, 75Hz, HDMI and DisplayPort”. Size and resolution are the primary filters. Say which inputs it has, since a buyer with a specific machine needs the right port.
Steady with lifts in September and before Christmas. Larger and higher-resolution panels sell fastest.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$422 a buyer pays is the A$422 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 monitor 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.
Are there dead pixels?
Cycle solid colours and photograph. Offering that evidence unprompted separates your listing from most others.
How do I check a monitor for dead pixels?
Display a full-screen solid black image, then a solid white one. Faults show clearly against both, and it takes under a minute.
Does a missing stand matter?
Yes, more than sellers expect. Stands are model-specific, so a monitor without one only suits a buyer who already has an arm or bracket.
