Selling a cricket bat in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
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 cricket bats are worth
What lifts the price

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the toe and edges for cracking
- Inspect the splice where handle meets blade
Getting it ready
- Identify the willow grade and whether it is English or Kashmir willow — the price difference is large.
- Note the weight and the handle type, and whether the bat has been knocked in and oiled.

Put in the description

- Whether it has been knocked in and oiled
Long and awkward to post, so expect a length surcharge. Wrap the toe and edges well — that is where transit damage lands.
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.

Are there any cracks?
Photograph the face, edges and toe. Surface cracks are common and repairable; a split edge or damaged toe is more serious.
