Used SSDs in Lismore 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 Lismore
Lismore sits in the Northern Rivers on a floodplain and was hit by catastrophic flooding in 2022 that reshaped the town. It has a long-standing alternative and creative culture, and a second-hand and repair economy that was well established here long before it became fashionable elsewhere.
Flood recovery has put an unusual amount of replaced household equipment onto the market, and the town’s repair-and-reuse culture means things circulate here that would simply be discarded in a larger city.
Agree whether the item is in a part of town that floods, and check access if rain is forecast. Otherwise the town is small and driving is easy.
Lismore, in New South Wales, has around 28,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Lismore
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.

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.
