Used TV units in Brisbane typically sell for A$48 to A$270 (about $34 to $190). TV units sell steadily but cheaply, so material and cable management are what separate one listing from another.
Selling a TV unit in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What TV units are worth
What lifts the price
- Cable management ports already cut
- Sizes suited to common television widths
What pulls it down
- Sagging particleboard shelves
- Very large units suiting few rooms
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure the width and state the maximum TV size
- Check every door and drawer
Getting it ready
- Clear it out and clean the top, then check the cable routing holes at the back are intact.
- Tighten legs or castors and check the top for a sag if it has carried a heavy set for years.

Put in the description
- Maximum TV size or weight it is designed for, if the label or manual states it
- Storage layout — open shelves, drawers, cupboards — and whether shelves are adjustable
Collection. Most units fit in an estate car or small van, so give the boxed or assembled dimensions and say whether it dismantles, which decides the vehicle they need to bring.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a TV unit in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Are the glass shelves toughened?
Look for an etched mark and report what you find. If there is no marking, say you cannot confirm it rather than assuming it is.
