Used ride on toys in Melbourne typically sell for A$29 to A$170 (about $20 to $120). Ride-on toys are outgrown fast, which means most are sold in genuinely good condition — and the battery, if it has one, is the fact that decides the price.
Selling ride on toys in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne, in Victoria, has around 5.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
What ride on toys are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with spares available
- Complete with chargers and accessories
What pulls it down
- Cracked plastic bodies
- Missing chargers, often proprietary
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge it fully and test the run time
- Confirm the charger is present
Getting it ready
- Charge any battery fully and time how long it runs. A tired battery is the standard fault and buyers expect the question.
- Find the charger. A powered ride-on without its charger loses a large share of its value, and generic ones are not always safe substitutes.

Type, brand and power: “12V Electric Ride On Jeep, 2 Seater, with Charger” or “Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, Foot Powered”. Voltage is a genuine search on electric ones, and the age range printed on the toy is worth including because parents shop by it.
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.
