Used projectors in Brisbane typically sell for A$96 to A$575 (about $67 to $405). Projector value is dominated by lamp hours, because a replacement lamp can cost a large share of the projector’s worth.
Selling a projector in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What projectors are worth
What lifts the price
- LED and laser light sources, which last far longer
- Original remote, cables and ceiling mount
What pulls it down

- Dead pixels on the imaging panel
Working out what yours is worth
- Project a plain white image to reveal dust and dead pixels
- Confirm the remote and cables are present
Getting it ready
- Find the lamp hours in the menu, usually under Information or Status, and note the rated lamp life.
- Project a white image and check for dust spots, dead pixels and colour banding.

Reasonably robust but the lens needs protecting. Use the original bag if you have one, and never post with a hot lamp recently used.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a projector in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Is the remote included?
Say so. Projector menus are difficult to navigate without the remote and replacements are model-specific.
