Used prams in Mackay typically sell for A$96 to A$575 (about $67 to $405). Prams sell fast and for good money because they are expensive new and outgrown within two years — but buyers check the fold, the brakes and the wheels before anything else.
Selling a pram in Mackay
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 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 prams are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with strong resale followings
- Complete travel systems with carrycot and adapters
What pulls it down
- Worn wheels or a frame that no longer folds cleanly
- Models discontinued long enough that spares have dried up
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify the exact model and year from the frame label
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash the fabrics if they are removable, and wipe down the frame. Baby equipment is judged on cleanliness more harshly than anything else.
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism latches properly, and test the brake on a slope.

- The seat fabric and harness, clean and clearly lit
- The wheels, brake and every accessory included, together in one frame
Put in the description
- Folded dimensions, since boot space is a real constraint for buyers
- Condition of the fabrics, harness and wheels, described honestly
Bulky and awkward to post, so most sell for local collection. That suits buyers, who want to fold it and push it before committing.
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.
