Used TVs in Adelaide typically sell for A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540). Televisions depreciate steeply, so the useful question is not age but panel type and whether the smart platform still works properly.
Selling a TV in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
Households turn over more slowly than in Sydney or Melbourne because more people own rather than rent. That means less volume, but what appears is more often a genuine downsize or a deceased estate rather than a share-house clear-out.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
What TVs are worth

- Display a plain white and a plain grey full-screen image to reveal panel faults
- Confirm the remote, stand and power lead are all present
Getting it ready
