Used Kindles in Mackay typically sell for A$48 to A$170 (about $34 to $120). Kindles sell on generation and whether the screen has a front light, so identify the model precisely — several generations look almost identical and are worth very different amounts.
Selling a Kindle in Mackay
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
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.

Small, light and cheap to post, but the screen is fragile — pad it well or use a rigid box.
