Used treadmills in Melbourne typically sell for A$155 to A$765 (about $110 to $540). Treadmills are worth real money and almost impossible to shift, and the reason is always the same — buyers cannot work out how to get one out of your house.
Selling a treadmill in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Handing it over in Melbourne
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
What treadmills are worth
What lifts the price
- Folding frames, which are far easier to move
- Console and heart rate features all working
What pulls it down
- Motors that struggle or smell hot under load
- Non-folding commercial frames that are very hard to move
Working out what yours is worth
- Run it at walking and running speed and listen to the motor
- Measure it folded and unfolded, and be honest about weight
Getting it ready
- Run it at walking and running speed and listen for belt slip, motor whine or a grinding roller.
- Check the belt for wear down the centre and confirm the console, incline and safety key all work.

Put in the description
- Which floor it is on and whether there are stairs
- Belt condition and whether the motor runs quietly under load
Brand, model and whether it folds: “NordicTrack T7.5 Folding Treadmill, Working”. Folding is a major selling point and belongs in the title. Be upfront about which floor it is on — putting “ground floor, easy access” in a treadmill listing genuinely brings in buyers who would otherwise skip it.
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.

The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
Will it fit through a normal door?
