Used snowboards in Australia typically sell for A$115 to A$670 (about $81 to $470). Snowboards sell on length, flex and base condition, and the practical question is whether the bindings are included and what boot size they fit.

Selling a snowboard 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 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.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Lay the board on a flat floor and check the camber
- Look for gouges deep enough to reach the core
Getting it ready
- Check the base for gouges and the edges for rust or damage, and look at the topsheet for delamination.
- If bindings are included, note the model and the boot size range they are set for.

Put in the description
- Length in centimetres, waist width and board profile
- Flex rating and whether it is directional, twin or all-mountain
- Base and edge condition, including any core shot or repair
Length, type and contents: “Burton Custom 158cm Snowboard with Bindings, All Mountain”. Length in centimetres is the primary filter. Say whether bindings are included and what boot size they suit.
November through February, peaking before the season. Spring listings sell for noticeably less.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$671 a buyer pays is the A$671 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 snowboard 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.
Are bindings included?
Say so and give the model and boot size range. Bindings are a significant part of the value.
Does a flat board still ride?
It rides differently and less well. A board that has lost its camber is worth noticeably less, so check before pricing.
Should bindings be included?
It makes the listing far more attractive to a buyer starting out, and mounting hardware is fiddly to source separately.
