Used ovens in Australia typically sell for A$135 to A$575 (about $94 to $405). A built-in oven is bought on dimensions and fuel type, and sold on how clean it is — the interior photograph does more for the price than any other thing you can control.

Selling an oven in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
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.
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
- Heat it to a set temperature and check with an oven thermometer
- Count the shelves and trays
Getting it ready
- Test every function — fan, conventional, grill, timer and light — and record which work.
- Measure the aperture dimensions and read the model and electrical load from the plate on the door frame.
Photograph
- The oven front on, door closed, clean
- The rating plate showing make, model and electrical load
- The door seal, the shelves and runners, plus any chipped enamel or scratched glass
Put in the description
- Aperture width, height and depth in centimetres
- Single or double, built-in or built-under, and fuel type
- Electrical load, and whether it requires a dedicated cooker circuit rather than a plug
Type, fuel and size: “Built In Single Electric Oven, 60cm, Fan Assisted” or “Double Built Under Oven, Electric”. Single and double, built-in and built-under are all distinct buyer searches and getting the wording right stops a stream of enquiries you cannot fulfil.
Lifts around kitchen refits, which cluster in spring and early autumn. Clean, tested, recent ovens in standard 60cm apertures sell within a week or two.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$575 a buyer pays is the A$575 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 an oven 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.
Will it fit my housing unit?
Give the exact external dimensions rather than a nominal size. Kitchen apertures are standard in theory and stubbornly variable in practice.
How do I check an oven heats correctly?
Set it to a known temperature and check with an oven thermometer. A thermostat that runs well out is the fault buyers most want to avoid.
Does it matter if the oven is built-in?
A great deal. Built-in ovens need a matching cut-out, so give the exact dimensions or you will waste everyone’s time.
