Used mom jeans in Hervey Bay typically sell for A$23 to A$96 (about $16 to $67). Mom jeans are bought for the rise and the fit through the hip, so the two numbers that sell them are the measured waist and the rise — not the label size.
Selling mom jeans 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.
Downsizing drives the supply here more than anything else. People moving into smaller homes or into care put good, well-maintained furniture and boating equipment onto the market, often the whole house at once.
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.

Brand, cut, size and rise: “Levi’s 501 Mom Jeans, W29, High Rise, Light Wash”. Wash matters a lot in this cut and photographs badly, so name it. State whether they are rigid or stretch — buyers of this style usually have a firm preference.
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.
