Used kids shoes in Sunshine Coast typically sell for A$11 to A$57 (about $8 to $40). Children outgrow shoes in months, so many are barely worn, and the sole is what tells a buyer how much life is left.
Selling kids shoes in Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is a string of coastal towns rather than a single centre, and it has grown fast on people moving north for the climate rather than for work. That mix of young families and downsizing retirees arriving at once is unusual, and it means prams and surfboards come onto the market alongside the contents of much larger houses.
This is a car region and the towns are strung out along the coast, so agree which town before you agree a time — the drive between the ends of it is longer than people expect. Beachside parking is the real constraint on a weekend, so aim for a weekday.
Salt air and sun together are hard on anything kept outdoors or on a balcony. Check hardware for corrosion and plastics for brittleness, and on a board ask about repairs rather than only about the finish.
Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, has around 350,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Say so, and note if they are the type that can be re-polished. Leather school shoes clean up far better than synthetic ones and it is worth mentioning.
