Used violins in Bunbury typically sell for A$86 to A$575 (about $61 to $405). Violins sell on size and setup, and the two things a buyer needs are the fraction size and whether it comes ready to play with a bow and case.
Selling a violin in Bunbury
Bunbury is the port city south of the capital, shipping mineral sands and alumina and serving a large dairy and agricultural district behind it. It is far enough from Perth to function independently and close enough that people move between the two constantly.
Industrial and port work runs on contracts, and the proximity to Perth means households move in both directions regularly. That keeps furniture and household goods circulating rather than settling.
Driving is easy and the town is compact, with the harbour and the centre both straightforward to meet at. Anything large is simple here compared with the capital.
On anything that has been near the port or the coast, check for corrosion on the hardware. Salt reaches screws and bearings well before it marks the paint, and that is where the cost sits.
Bunbury, in Western Australia, has around 75,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Perth, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- The scroll and pegbox
- The bow, case, and any crack, open seam or repair
Put in the description
- Any crack, open seam or previous repair
- Whether a bow, case, shoulder rest and rosin are included
Post only in a hard case with the bridge protected and the bow hair slackened. Collection lets a buyer or their teacher try it, which suits both sides.
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.
