Used smart speakers in Australia typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Smart speakers sell cheaply and quickly, and the two things that decide yours are the generation and whether it has been fully deregistered from your account.

Selling a smart speaker 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
- Confirm the model still receives platform support
- Check you have the correct power supply
Getting it ready
- Deregister the device from your account and factory reset it.
- Test the speaker at volume and check the microphones respond.

Put in the description
- Brand, model and generation
- Whether the original power adapter is included
- Whether it has a screen, and any built-in hub functionality
Brand, model and generation: “Amazon Echo Dot 4th Generation, Charcoal”. Generation is what distinguishes near-identical models. Say whether the original power adapter is included — many are proprietary wattages and a generic one will not run the device.
Strong Christmas lift, otherwise steady. These sell quickly at low prices because they are cheap new.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$172 a buyer pays is the A$172 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 smart speaker 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 it deregistered?
Factory reset and remove it from your account before listing, then say so. A registered speaker is tied to your account and your voice history.
Why does the power supply matter?
Most use proprietary voltages, so a speaker without its original supply is difficult for a buyer to power.
Must I reset it before selling?
Yes. A speaker still linked to your account exposes your data and cannot be set up by the buyer.
