Used SSDs in Hobart typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Solid state drives are cheap new, so used ones sell mainly on capacity and remaining write endurance.
Selling a SSD 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.
Antarctic and research programmes rotate people through on fixed contracts, and the colonial-era housing stock turns over with genuinely old contents. Winter here is long and cold, so warm clothing and heating-adjacent goods move seasonally.
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.
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.

- Securely erase the drive before selling
Getting it ready
- Note the exact capacity, form factor and interface: SATA, NVMe, M.2 or 2.5 inch.

Put in the description
- Capacity, form factor and interface
- SMART health percentage, power-on hours and total bytes written
Capacity, interface and health: “1TB NVMe M.2 SSD, Samsung 970 EVO, 98% Health”. Capacity and interface are the filters. Including a SMART health figure is unusual and immediately credible, because buyers of used drives are specifically worried about wear.
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.
