Used mom jeans in Newcastle typically sell for A$23 to A$96 (about $16 to $67). High-rise vintage-cut denim came back strongly, and genuine period pairs sell well above modern reproductions.
Selling mom jeans in Newcastle
Newcastle exports more coal than any other harbour in the world and spent a century as a steel city before the works closed, which left it reinventing itself around a university, a port and some of the best surf beaches in the country. It is a genuine city rather than a large town, and the market here has the depth to match.
The university turns over student households every year and the inner suburbs have gentrified fast, which puts both cheap student furniture and much better pieces onto the market at the same time.
For anything that has lived near the beach, check the hardware for corrosion. Salt air travels further inland here than people expect, and it reaches screws and bearings long before it marks the surface.
Newcastle, in New South Wales, has around 325,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Sydney, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell mom jeans in Newcastle?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is compact enough that meeting near the centre or a beach car park is practical, and the light rail and rail line make small handovers easy without a car. Anything large is a drive, and the inner suburbs have the narrow streets to prove it.
Are they rigid or stretchy?
Read the composition label. Even a small elastane percentage changes the fit noticeably and buyers care.
