Used football boots in Australia typically sell for A$29 to A$115 (about $20 to $81). Football boots sell fast and cheap in youth sizes and slowly at a premium in adult ones, and the studs tell the buyer everything about how much life is left.

Selling football boots in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the studs and soleplate clearly
- State the size in UK, EU and US where marked
Getting it ready
- Check the studs. On screw-in boots, confirm they all turn and are present; on moulded soles, look for rounded-off studs.
- Check the sole plate for cracks across the forefoot, which is where boots fail and where the value goes.
Photograph
- The pair side on, clean, standing
- The inside size label and the stitching around the toe
- Any split, peeled upper, loose sole or missing stud
Put in the description
- Size as marked, with UK and EU equivalents, and whether junior or adult
- Surface type — firm ground, soft ground, artificial grass or astro turf
- Whether studs are moulded or screw-in, and whether a stud key and spares are included
Brand, model and surface: “Nike Mercurial Vapor FG Football Boots, UK 8” or “Adidas Predator Astro Turf Trainers, Junior 4”. Surface codes are real searches — FG for firm ground, SG for soft, AG for artificial grass, and turf boots are a different purchase entirely.
Peaks in August and September as seasons start, with a second lift in January. Youth sizes sell quickly and cheaply because children outgrow boots every year.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$115 a buyer pays is the A$115 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell football boots in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Are the studs worn?
Photograph the sole flat to camera. Stud height is the whole measure of remaining life, and a picture answers it far better than a description.
What is soleplate delamination?
The sole separating from the upper, usually starting at the toe. It cannot be reliably repaired and ends the boot’s life.
Do screw-in boots need both stud sets?
It helps considerably, since buyers use different studs for different pitch conditions and replacements are fiddly to source.
