Used hiking boots in Launceston typically sell for A$48 to A$170 (about $34 to $120). Hiking boots are judged on the midsole and the tread, and there is one failure buyers specifically look for: hydrolysis, where a stored boot’s midsole crumbles even though the uppers look perfect.
Selling hiking boots in Launceston
Launceston is the northern city of the island and one of the oldest in the country, sitting where two rivers meet below a gorge that runs right into the city. The building stock is old, the winters are cold and the surrounding district is farming and cool-climate wine. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The city is compact and driving is easy by mainland standards, and the centre is walkable. Older houses mean narrow stairs and doorways, so measure anything large before you agree to it.
On old timber furniture, check the joints and the feet. The building stock here is genuinely old and so is much of what comes out of it, and age shows at the joins long before it shows on the surface.
Launceston, in Tasmania, has around 90,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Hobart, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What hiking boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Intact waterproof membrane with no delamination
- Recent manufacture, since midsoles degrade with age
What pulls it down
- Worn lugs offering no grip
- Delaminated waterproof linings that no longer keep water out
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the sole hard and look for crumbling or separation
- Check the lug depth against a new pair if you can
Getting it ready
- Flex each boot hard and look at the midsole for cracking or crumbling. Boots stored for years can fail here despite looking unworn.
- Check the eyelets and hooks are all present and the laces are sound, and note whether they are waterproof-lined.

Put in the description
- Whether the boot has a waterproof membrane, and whether it still performs
- Approximate mileage or seasons of use, given honestly
Post them boxed. Heavier than most footwear, so weigh them and quote postage before agreeing a price rather than discovering the cost afterwards.
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 they still waterproof?
Say what you actually know from wearing them. Membranes degrade, and a boot that wets out after an hour must not be sold as waterproof.
