Second-hand tools & DIY in Geraldton typically sells for A$29 to A$960 (about $20 to $675). A full kit in its case with every accessory is worth considerably more than the bare tool, since replacing the pieces separately is expensive. Anything that has been on a building site has done far more hours than the same age suggests at home.
Buying tools & DIY 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.
Trade tools change hands within a district more than through any listing, and the good ones rarely travel far before somebody local takes them. Being nearby is most of what gets you to a well-kept set before anyone else does.
What to check in person
Check the guards, catches and safety cut-outs all still work, since these are the first things removed and the most expensive to put right. Look at the casing for cracks and at the fixings for the rounded heads that show it has been apart.
Collecting it in Geraldton
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
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.

Say the age, whether it has been used domestically or on site, and how many batteries and chargers are included. Have it plugged in and ready to run when the buyer arrives, because that one gesture removes most of the haggling. Busiest through spring and summer, when outdoor and building work picks up.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
