Used mopeds in Darwin typically sell for A$575 to A$3,850 (about $405 to $2,700). Mopeds are cheap, heavily used and often neglected, so service evidence matters more than mileage.
Selling a moped in Darwin
This is the most transient capital in the country: defence postings, fixed-term contracts and people leaving at the end of a wet season all clear entire households at once. Fishing and camping equipment moves constantly because almost everyone here acquires some.
Driving is the default and the city is spread out, so agree the suburb rather than a general area. In the wet season a downpour can stop everything for an hour, so agree what happens if it does.
Ask whether the item went through a wet season and where it was stored. Humidity and mould do more damage here than age does, and they reach upholstery, electronics and camera gear alike.
Darwin, in Northern Territory, has around 150,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Alice Springs, Sydney and Melbourne are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

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. Around Nightcliff, Palmerston and Casuarina are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
