Selling a paddleboard 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.
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.
