Selling kids shoes in Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay is a retirement and holiday town on a sheltered stretch of water, best known for whale watching and as the crossing point to the sand island opposite. The population skews considerably older than the national average, and the second-hand market reflects that in both directions.
Everything is a short drive and parking is easy, which makes this an unusually simple place to arrange a handover. For a boat or trailer, agree where it can actually be hitched and turned before the day.
On boats and marine gear, check the trailer as carefully as the boat. Salt water is hard on bearings and brakes, and a trailer that has been dunked for years is the part most likely to cost you first.
Hervey Bay, in Queensland, has around 55,000 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.

What kids shoes are worth
What lifts the price
- Barely worn shoes with tread still visible
- Original box for smarter styles
What pulls it down
- Worn-down soles and moulded footbeds
- Very small sizes worn only briefly but heavily
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the insole for a moulded impression
- State the size in both UK and EU where marked
Getting it ready
- Look at the sole wear pattern and the inside of the heel. A shoe worn heavily on one edge has moulded to a specific gait.
- Clean them thoroughly, including the insoles, and remove or replace anything soiled.

Brand, size and type: “Clarks School Shoes, Size 11F, Black Leather”. The width fitting is a genuine search for parents whose child has been measured, and it is almost never included in listings. Say leather or synthetic, and whether they are school shoes or casual.
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.
