Used sofa beds in Hobart typically sell for A$155 to A$765 (about $110 to $540). Sofa beds are judged on the mechanism, because that is what fails and what buyers specifically test.
Selling a sofa bed in Hobart
Hobart is the country’s second-oldest city and the coldest of its capitals, with a great deal of genuinely old housing stock still standing below the mountain. It is the departure point for Antarctic expeditions and has a strong arts and market culture, and both of those put unusual things into circulation.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Measure the stairwell and the doorway, not just the item. A great deal of housing here is old, steep and narrow, and that is the commonest reason a furniture collection falls through in this city.
Hobart, in Tasmania, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Launceston, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hobart
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. Around Battery Point, North Hobart and Sandy Bay are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Put in the description

Size as both, plus mechanism: “3 Seater Sofa Bed, Double, Pull Out Metal Action, Grey”. The bed size is a primary search. Naming the mechanism type helps, because click-clack, pull-out and futon styles suit very different buyers and comfort expectations.
