Selling comic books in Bathurst
Bathurst is one of the oldest inland settlements in the country and it is known for the mountain circuit above the town, which brings an enormous motorsport crowd once a year. It has a university campus and genuinely cold winters, both of which shape the local market.
The student intake clears share houses each year and the motorsport scene keeps parts and tools circulating well beyond race week. Cold winters put genuine seasonal demand behind heating-adjacent goods and warm clothing.
The town is small and easy to drive in for most of the year, and comprehensively booked out during race week. Agree a landmark near the centre and avoid that week entirely if you can.
Bathurst, in New South Wales, has around 38,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
