Used BMX bikes in Mackay typically sell for A$96 to A$480 (about $67 to $335). BMX buyers care about the parts list, not the brand on the frame — a stock bike with upgraded wheels and cranks is worth far more than the model name suggests.
Selling a BMX bike in Mackay
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Collection is easiest. If posting, it needs a proper bike box with the bars, pedals and wheel removed — and quote the courier before agreeing a price, because bike carriage is expensive.
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.

Is the frame chromoly?
Check for a sticker or the weight and say what you find. Full chromoly is worth substantially more than hi-ten, and riders can tell.
