Used knife sets in Geelong typically sell for A$29 to A$190 (about $20 to $135). Knives sell well and carry real legal weight: it is an offence to sell a bladed article to anyone under 18, and most carriers restrict or refuse them, so read your carrier’s rules before you promise postage.
Selling a knife set in Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
Manufacturing decline left a deep pool of good tools in private hands, and the university turns student households over annually. Commuter families moving down from Melbourne add a steady stream of furniture in both directions.
The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
Geelong, in Victoria, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
