Used pool tables in Darwin typically sell for A$190 to A$1,150 (about $135 to $810). Pool tables are extremely heavy and usually need dismantling, so the buyer is pricing the move as much as the table.
Selling a pool table in Darwin
Darwin is the closest Australian capital to Asia and the most transient, rebuilt almost entirely after the cyclone that flattened it in 1974. It runs on a wet and dry season rather than four, has a substantial defence presence, and very few people who live here grew up here.
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.
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.
Handing it over in Darwin
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a pool table in Darwin?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
How many people to move it?
Answer honestly. A slate table needs four or more and the slates come out separately. Understating this ends in a failed collection.
