Selling a cricket bat in Mackay
Mackay is a sugar town that became a mining service town, sitting between the cane fields and the coal basin inland. A large part of the working population is on rotation rather than resident full time, and that shapes both what people buy and how quickly they sell it again.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What cricket bats are worth
What lifts the price
- English willow over Kashmir willow
- Straight grains with an even count
What pulls it down

- Dried-out, unoiled blades
Working out what yours is worth
- Count the grains on the face and note the willow type
- Inspect the splice where handle meets blade
Getting it ready
- Identify the willow grade and whether it is English or Kashmir willow — the price difference is large.
- Check the face for cracks, the edges for splits and the toe for swelling or damage.
Photograph
- The edges and the toe close up
- The handle and grip, plus any crack, split or repair
Put in the description
- Whether it has been knocked in and oiled
- Face, edge and toe condition, and any repair
Long and awkward to post, so expect a length surcharge. Wrap the toe and edges well — that is where transit damage lands.
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.
