Used TVs in Melbourne typically sell for A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540). Televisions are sold on screen condition and panel type, and the one thing every buyer fears is a cracked or blemished panel they cannot see in a photograph of a switched-off screen.
Selling a TV 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 TVs are worth
What lifts the price
- Original stand, remote and power lead
- A smart platform still receiving app updates
What pulls it down
- Dead backlight zones showing as dark patches
- Missing or replaced remote, often proprietary
Working out what yours is worth
- Display a plain white and a plain grey full-screen image to reveal panel faults
- Note the exact model number from the rear panel
Getting it ready
- Power it on and display a plain white image, then a plain black one, to reveal dead pixels, backlight bleed and clouding.
- Locate the stand, feet, screws and remote. A television missing its stand or remote loses more value than the parts cost to replace.

Size, resolution and model: “Samsung 55-inch 4K Smart TV UE55TU7100”. Screen size in inches is the primary search term, so it must be there. If it is not a smart TV, or the smart apps no longer update, say so — buyers assume smart features work and are annoyed to find otherwise.
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 in Melbourne?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. 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.
Do the smart apps still work?
Test the ones people actually use. Older smart televisions often lose app support, and it is far better disclosed than discovered.
