Buying toys & games in Lismore
Lismore sits in the Northern Rivers on a floodplain and was hit by catastrophic flooding in 2022 that reshaped the town. It has a long-standing alternative and creative culture, and a second-hand and repair economy that was well established here long before it became fashionable elsewhere.
Families pass these on within a few streets as children move past a stage, and much of it never reaches a wider audience at all. Supply arrives in waves after birthdays and Christmas, so being close by matters more than searching hard.
What to check in person
Open a board game and check the counters, cards and dice against the rules sheet rather than trusting a description. Smell soft toys for damp or smoke, and pull gently at eyes and stitching on anything meant for a small child.
Collecting it in Lismore
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.
Agree whether the item is in a part of town that floods, and check access if rain is forecast. Otherwise the town is small and driving is easy.

Flood recovery has put an unusual amount of replaced household equipment onto the market, and the town’s repair-and-reuse culture means things circulate here that would simply be discarded in a larger city.
Say honestly whether a set is complete and photograph the pieces laid out rather than in the box. If parts are missing, say which — buyers will still buy, and it saves the conversation that otherwise ends the sale. Builds from October to Christmas, then again in a quieter second-hand wave in January.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
