Used hybrid bikes in Brisbane typically sell for A$155 to A$765 (about $110 to $540). Hybrids are the practical commuter option, so buyers care about reliability and fittings far more than performance components.
Selling a hybrid bike in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Brisbane, in Queensland, has around 2.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description

Are the brakes disc or rim?
Say which, and whether hydraulic or cable. Disc brakes are a genuine selling point for year-round riding.
