Used dining chairs in Mackay typically sell for A$38 to A$285 (about $27 to $200). Dining chairs sell as sets, and the set size is the single biggest price factor — four matching chairs are worth far more than four similar ones.
Selling dining chairs 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.
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. Four chairs fill a car and six generally will not, so tell the buyer the set dimensions in advance and let them arrange the right vehicle rather than making two trips.
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 dining chairs in Mackay?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
Will you split the set?
Decide before you list. Splitting usually earns less overall and leaves you with the awkward remainder, so it is normally worth holding out for a whole-set buyer.
