Used pool tables in Australia typically sell for A$190 to A$1,150 (about $135 to $810). Pool tables are the hardest thing on this list to move, so the entire listing hinges on size, weight and whether the slate comes apart.

Selling a pool table 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.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check whether the bed is slate or MDF — slate is far heavier
- Measure the access route out of the room
Getting it ready
- Check the cloth for tears, burns and wear at the baulk end, and test every pocket.
- Work out whether it dismantles, and how many people it will genuinely need.

Put in the description
- Playing surface size in feet, and external dimensions
- Slate or MDF bed, and approximate total weight
- Cloth condition, cushion response and pocket condition
Size, bed and access: “7ft Slate Bed Pool Table, Dismantles, Ground Floor”. Size in feet is the primary filter and slate versus MDF is the main price driver. Putting access in the title genuinely brings in buyers who would otherwise skip it.
Steady with a lift before Christmas. Slate tables sell to committed buyers year round; MDF tables sell cheaply and slowly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$1,150 a buyer pays is the A$1,150 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 pool table 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.
Is the bed slate?
Check underneath or lift a corner of the cloth. Slate tables play far better and are worth several times an MDF one — they are also enormously heavier.
Can a pool table be moved in one piece?
Slate tables generally cannot — the bed comes off in sections and each is very heavy. Buyers need to know this before they arrive.
Is recovering the cloth worth it before selling?
Only if the cloth is badly damaged and you can do it cheaply. Most buyers accept worn cloth and recover it to their own colour.
