Second-hand electronics in Geraldton typically sells for A$15 to A$1,700 (about $11 to $1,200). Being unlocked to any network adds real money against the same handset tied to one carrier. Original packaging, charger and paperwork lift the figure more than their cost, mostly as evidence of how it has been looked after.
Buying electronics in Geraldton
Geraldton is a working port on an exposed stretch of coast, shipping iron ore and grain and home to a substantial rock lobster fleet. It is famously windy, which is why it draws wind and water sports people, and salt air is a constant here rather than an occasional problem.
Nothing here can be checked for a lock or a block from a photograph, and a handset barred by its network is worth almost nothing however good it looks. Trying it on the spot, with the seller present, is the only reliable test there is.
What to check in person
Run it for a good ten minutes rather than a moment, because overheating and sudden restarts only appear once it is warm. Try every port with a cable actually in it, and look along the seams for a case that has been opened before.
Collecting it in Geraldton
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Driving is the default and the town is compact. For a boat or trailer, agree where it can be hitched and turned before the day rather than after you arrive.

Fishing seasons and port work both run on cycles, and the mining workforce in the hinterland adds rotational households on top. Marine equipment turns over steadily as people upgrade or leave the industry.
Do a factory reset before the buyer arrives and remove any account lock, because a device still signed in is the commonest reason a local sale collapses on the doorstep. Bring the original cable if you still have it. Steady all year, with a clear lift each time a new model is announced and people upgrade.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
