Used mountain bikes in Gold Coast typically sell for A$190 to A$1,150 (about $135 to $810). Mountain bikes are priced on suspension and drivetrain, and buyers know exactly what each fork and groupset tier is worth.
Selling a mountain bike in Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is a beach and tourism economy with a large transient working population, and both halves of that shape the second-hand market. Water sports gear is everywhere and sells all year, and the high-rise apartment stock means most furniture on the market is sized for a flat rather than a house.
The city is a long strip along the coast rather than a centre with suburbs, so handovers are usually arranged by suburb along the highway or the light rail line. Apartment collections need a lift booking in many of the towers.
Salt air and sun together are hard on everything outdoors. Check hardware for corrosion and plastics for brittleness, and on a board ask about repairs rather than only about the finish.
Gold Coast has around 700,000 people in Queensland, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Gold Coast

Collection is normal and lets the buyer ride it. If posting, expect to remove the wheels, bars and pedals and use a proper bike box.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
