Used washing machines in Hobart typically sell for A$155 to A$575 (about $110 to $405). Large appliances are priced mainly on how much working life a buyer thinks is left, and on whether they can get it out of your house.
Selling a washing machine in Hobart
Antarctic and research programmes rotate people through on fixed contracts, and the colonial-era housing stock turns over with genuinely old contents. Winter here is long and cold, so warm clothing and heating-adjacent goods move seasonally.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Measure the stairwell and the doorway, not just the item. A great deal of housing here is old, steep and narrow, and that is the commonest reason a furniture collection falls through in this city.
Hobart, in Tasmania, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Launceston, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hobart
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect. Around Battery Point, North Hobart and Sandy Bay are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- Higher spin speeds and larger drum capacities
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Bearing noise, which effectively ends the machine’s life
- Error codes on any cycle
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Clean the detergent drawer, door seal and filter. A mouldy seal is the single thing that makes a buyer walk away.
- Find the model number on the door frame or rear, and locate the transit bolts if you still have them.

Put in the description
- Brand, model number, drum capacity in kg and spin speed in rpm
- Approximate age, and any repairs or replaced parts
Brand, capacity and spin speed are the search: “Bosch 8kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, Working”. Capacity in kilograms matters to families and is often left out. If it is integrated rather than freestanding, that must be in the title — it fits an entirely different kitchen.
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.
