Used kids shoes in Mount Gambier typically sell for A$11 to A$57 (about $8 to $40). Children’s shoes are the one clothing item where honesty about wear really matters, because a shoe moulded to another child’s foot is not a bargain at any price.
Selling kids shoes in Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier is built on limestone around a volcanic crater lake that turns vivid blue each summer, and the district around it is one of the largest softwood forestry and timber-processing regions in the country. Timber and trade work are the backbone here.
Driving is easy and the town is compact enough that any landmark works. It is a long way from either capital, so buyers travelling in usually want a firm time rather than a window.
On timber and trade equipment, ask whether it was used commercially. Forestry work here is hard on machinery, and a saw that has been on a work site has had a different life from one used at weekends.
Mount Gambier, in South Australia, has around 30,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Adelaide, Whyalla and Sydney 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
- Recognised brands with proper fitting construction
What pulls it down
- Worn-down soles and moulded footbeds
- Odour, which is difficult to remove
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph the soles as well as the uppers
- Check the insole for a moulded impression
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.
- Measure the internal length in centimetres, since children’s sizing varies significantly between brands.

Put in the description

- Sole and heel wear pattern, and the state of the insole
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.
