Used power drills in Darwin typically sell for A$48 to A$285 (about $34 to $200). Corded drills are simple, durable and cheap second hand, so condition of the chuck and cable decides the price.
Selling a power drill 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.
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.
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.
