Used soundbars in Canberra typically sell for A$77 to A$385 (about $54 to $270). Soundbars sell on channel configuration and whether the subwoofer and remote are still with it, because both are effectively impossible to replace separately.
Selling a soundbar in Canberra
Public service postings and university terms both move people in and out on predictable cycles, and Canberra genuinely gets cold in winter, so heating, bedding and warm clothing move on a real seasonal rhythm rather than a notional one.
The city was designed around driving and is organised into distinct town centres, so naming which one you are near saves everyone a long trip. Parking is plentiful and free in most places, which makes collecting large items easy.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder and the mechanism. A lot of very good chairs come onto the market here looking barely used, with the one expensive part already worn out.
Canberra, in Australian Capital Territory, has around 460,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, channels and contents: “Samsung 3.1 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and Remote”. Channel configuration is the primary spec. Say whether the subwoofer and remote are included — both are near-impossible to source separately and buyers ask immediately.
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.
