Selling a slip dress in Coffs Harbour
Coffs Harbour is a coastal town midway along the highway between the two largest cities on this seaboard, built on bananas and tourism and now largely on the latter. It is a stopping point as much as a destination, which keeps people and goods moving through it.
Holiday letting and seasonal work both turn households over regularly, and families moving to the coast for lifestyle reasons arrive and leave often enough to keep furniture and children’s equipment circulating.
The highway splits the town from the beach side, so agree which side you are meeting on. Parking near the jetty fills up in holiday periods and is otherwise easy.
For anything that has lived near the water, check the hardware and the zips. Salt reaches fastenings, sliders and bearings first, and those are the parts that decide whether something is still worth owning.
Coffs Harbour, in New South Wales, has around 72,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
