Selling a varsity jacket in Port Macquarie
Port Macquarie is a coastal town that grew on retirement and holidays rather than industry, sitting where the river meets the sea. The population skews older and better settled than the surf towns further north, and the housing is largely owner-occupied.
Downsizing and estate clearances drive most of the supply, which means furniture that has been looked after in one home for a long time. Holiday-house turnover adds a second, more seasonal stream of household goods.
Everything is a short drive and the town is easy to park in outside school holidays, when it fills up considerably. Agreeing a weekday if you can is worth more here than in most places.
On furniture from a downsizing move, ask how long it was in the one house. A single careful owner for twenty years is usually a better buy here than something newer that has moved four times.
Port Macquarie, in New South Wales, has around 48,000 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.
