Used freezers in Mackay typically sell for A$115 to A$480 (about $81 to $335). A freezer sells on capacity, star rating and being demonstrably clean inside — and the one rule that must be passed on is that it should stand upright for hours before being switched on.
Selling a freezer 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.

Getting it ready
- Defrost it completely, dry it out and leave the door ajar so it does not develop a smell before collection.
- Check every drawer and flap for cracks, and note the model and capacity from the rating plate inside.
Photograph
- The rating plate showing make, model, capacity and energy rating
- The door seal all the way round, plus any dent, rust patch or cracked drawer
Put in the description
- Star rating and energy rating, and make, model and approximate age
- That it has been run and holds temperature, plus the state of the seal and drawers
Collection, transported upright wherever possible. Tell the buyer to let it stand upright for several hours before switching on so the compressor oil settles — ignoring that is how a working freezer arrives broken.
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.
