Used office chairs in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$57 to A$345 (about $40 to $240). Office chairs sell on brand and on the state of the gas lift, because a chair that sinks slowly under you is the fault every used buyer has been caught by.
Selling an office chair in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Perth has around 2.1 million people in Western Australia, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
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.
What office chairs are worth

- Recognised ergonomic models with parts still available

- Missing or mismatched castors
Working out what yours is worth
- Sit in it and time whether the seat height holds
- Test every lever and the recline lock
Getting it ready
- Sit in it and check the gas lift holds height for several minutes. A sinking chair needs the cylinder replaced and must be disclosed.
- Test every adjustment: height, tilt, lock, armrests and lumbar support.

Common questions
Where can I sell an office chair in Perth?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Is the seat foam still supportive?
Press it and be honest. Collapsed foam is the thing a buyer notices on day one and it is the main reason cheap chairs get resold again.
