Used action figures in Townsville typically sell for A$10 to A$155 (about $7 to $110). Action figures are priced by completeness — the accessories, the joints and the packaging decide almost everything, and a missing weapon can halve a figure’s value.
Selling action figures in Townsville
Townsville is the largest city in the tropical north and it runs on three things: the army garrison, the university and the port. It also sits in the cyclone belt, so people here think about how things are stored in a way that inland cities never have to.
Almost everyone drives, and the city is flat and spread out, so collection is straightforward as long as you agree the suburb. In the wet season a downpour can close a road at short notice, so it is worth agreeing what happens if the weather turns rather than assuming.
Ask whether the item came through a cyclone season in a shed or a carport. Wind-driven rain gets into places ordinary rain never reaches, and the damage shows up months later in motors and electronics.
Townsville, in Queensland, has around 195,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Townsville
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

What action figures are worth
What lifts the price
- Carded figures still sealed in original packaging
- Complete loose figures with all accessories
What pulls it down
- Loose or floppy joints from play wear
- Sun-faded plastic and yellowing
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every accessory against the original release
- Photograph joints and paint in daylight
Getting it ready
- Check the joints. Loose or floppy limbs are a genuine defect on articulated figures and buyers ask specifically.
- Clean gently with a dry brush. Do not scrub painted detail, and never use solvent on printed faces.
Photograph
- Individual shots of the more valuable figures, front and back
- Any packaging, card back or box, including its corners and creases
Put in the description
- Whether each figure is complete with its accessories, or loose and partial
- Joint condition — tight, loose or broken — and any paint wear
Small and light, so posting is easy and widens your audience enormously. Wrap each figure separately and box rather than bag anything with fragile accessories or original packaging.
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.
