Used breast pumps in Mackay typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Be careful here, because the type decides whether you should sell it at all: open-system pumps cannot be hygienically shared and should not be passed on, while closed-system and hospital-grade pumps are designed to be.
Selling a breast pump in Mackay
Mackay is a sugar town that became a mining service town, sitting between the cane fields and the coal basin inland. A large part of the working population is on rotation rather than resident full time, and that shapes both what people buy and how quickly they sell it again.
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.
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.

What breast pumps are worth
What lifts the price
- Closed-system pumps, which can be hygienically reused

- Degraded motors with reduced suction
- Missing power supply
Working out what yours is worth

Getting it ready
- Establish whether your pump is open or closed system. If milk can reach the tubing or the motor, it is open, and it should not be resold for use.
- For a closed-system pump, sterilise everything and note which parts a new owner must replace themselves — valves, membranes, tubing and flanges.
