About Us

Welcome to HiFi Disposals, your trusted destination for quality brand-name audio products at unbeatable prices. Every item is carefully tested and serviced before being listed for sale, ensuring you receive reliable, high-performance equipment. Backed by a warranty serviced by Tivoli HiFi, we’re here to support you every step of the way with expert pre- and post-sales assistance via phone or email. With convenient Australia-wide delivery and the option for local pick-up from our Melbourne office, we make it easy to find the perfect audio solution for your needs.

The Why:

An unavoidable fact of the AV industry is that Retailers, Distributors and Manufacturers will inevitably end up with hard-to-sell or unsaleable stock. The reasons are many and varied, for example: superseded stock, returned items, repaired items returned under warranty, demonstrators, show and display stock. Other reasons include refurbished or repaired stock or stock with damaged packaging.  Sometimes there is simply an overstock of a given model due to over-ordering or seasonal fluctuations in demand. 

More often than not, stock in these categories will be in perfect condition from both a cosmetic and functional perspective. Still, traditional AV businesses usually struggle to make this stock available to customers. Reasons for this include not having sales channels set up to deal with the end-user directly, directives to focus sales efforts on new and in-demand products, and the fast and continuous development cycle of new products, taking attention away from often perfectly suitable superseded models.  

 

The What: 

This means that at any given time, there is an abundance of high-quality products available. The purpose of Hi-Fi Disposals is to collate and curate the very best of this stock, thoroughly examine, test and grade it, then make it available to savvy AV enthusiasts at heavily discounted prices. All items for sale on Hi-Fi Disposals have been extensively tested by our professional technicians and assigned a clear, objective grade for full transparency.  For additional peace of mind, we offer a comprehensive two-year non-transferable warranty on all new items only. 12-month non-transferable warranty on most items. 

All high-quality Hi-Fi and Video Equipment of worth qualify.  Our store offers a wide range of equipment, from brand-new products to classic/museum/nostalgic models, as well as accessories and spare parts.  Please note, there may be quantities available for some items, or there may be only one that is listed as available.

The Where:  

Hi Fi Disposals is a purely online business.  Whilst we will offer a collect-only service for a particular product, we do not provide a typical retail experience. Specifically, we do not have showrooms or demonstration rooms, nor do we conduct comparison tests or have an installation or installation services division.  We provide a delivery service Australia-wide, unless otherwise stated, such as 'Collect Only'.

This model will enable us to offer high-quality products to AV enthusiasts at the lowest possible prices.

The Who:  

We are a team of HiFi enthusiasts and technicians with some 90 years of collective experience in the Australian AV industry.  In addition to providing product and sales support, we also have our own service department, which offers the best technical support and after-sales service available.

Hi Fi Disposals was created in 1991 in Camberwell, during the Recession 'we had to have' and predominantly operated a retail version of the same business model as described above. Consumer reaction was extremely positive at the time, as the only other option for our kind of offering at the time was the Trading Post, which even then was seen as very inconvenient, clumsy, time-consuming and often risky.   After a very successful period, Hi Fi Disposals was put on the back burner until a time when technology allowed us to provide the service directly online. That time has now come!

By appointment only, we are happy to demonstrate the working of a potential/selection purchase.  We will be available for sales inquiries via email and telephone during weekdays/business hours.  

The When: 

Hi-Fi Disposals went live on May 1, 2020. We already have a very large collection of superb Hi-Fi in our possession, and at this stage, we will update our listings on a weekly basis. We are available to respond to email queries during business hours to provide support for customers searching for a specific product or solution.
