Used boots in Brisbane typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Good boots are built to be resoled, which is why quality pairs hold value long after cheaper ones have been thrown away.
Selling boots in Brisbane
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised makers with resoling services available
- Original laces, box and any dust bags
What pulls it down
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Salt staining from winter wear
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the vamp and check for cracking
- Check the heel block and sole thickness
Getting it ready
- Clean and condition the leather. Boots respond visibly to a wipe and a coat of polish, and it costs almost nothing.
- Check the heel wear, the sole tread and the insole, and photograph the size stamp inside or on the sole.
Photograph
- The soles, showing tread, heel wear and whether there is a stitched welt
- The size stamp, legible
Put in the description
- Leather or synthetic, and whether the sole is welted or cemented
- Sole and heel wear, and whether they have been resoled before
Heavier than shoes so postage costs a little more, but still straightforward. Wrap each boot separately and check the parcel weight before quoting the buyer a postage price.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell boots in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Are they real leather?
Check the inner label and the cut edge of the material. Say plainly if they are synthetic — it is not a problem stated up front and is a real one discovered later.
