Used TVs in Sydney 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 Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Confirm access and parking before agreeing to collect anything large. Between the terraces, the apartment blocks and the permit zones, where a vehicle can actually stop is the thing that decides most furniture sales here.
Handing it over in Sydney
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What TVs are worth
What lifts the price
- A screen with no burn-in, dead pixels or backlight banding
- A smart platform still receiving app updates
What pulls it down
- Dead backlight zones showing as dark patches
- Older smart platforms where apps no longer install
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the remote, stand and power lead are all present
- Note the exact model number from the rear panel
Getting it ready
- Find the exact model number on the rear sticker and note the screen size and resolution.
- Locate the stand, feet, screws and remote. A television missing its stand or remote loses more value than the parts cost to replace.
Photograph
- The rear sticker showing the model number
- The remote and any cables included, plus any scratch or mark on the bezel or screen
Put in the description
- Whether it is a smart TV, and whether the apps still receive updates
- Any dead pixels, backlight bleed, screen scratches or bezel damage
Sells year round with a clear peak before Christmas and around major sporting tournaments. Large screens move faster than small ones because the saving against new is bigger.
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.
