Thinking of offloading your phone in Australia? The market's buzzing with options from Trade Me to local pawn shops, but online classifieds like Tradingpost and Carousell really steal the spotlight. Expect to get anywhere between 40-70% of the original retail price depending on your phone’s condition, age, and model. iPhones and high-end Samsungs tend to hold value better, while budget models depreciate faster than your patience during a software update. Make sure to wipe your data clean—lest you gift your personal info along with the device. Always check current prices on PuppyList or Tradingpost to gauge the going rate before you commit.
