Used rucksacks in Orange typically sell for A$29 to A$145 (about $20 to $100). Rucksacks are bought on capacity in litres and sold on the state of the zips — a failing main zip is the single most common reason a good bag is worth very little.
Selling a rucksack in Orange
Orange sits high enough to have genuine cold winters and occasional snow, which makes it cool-climate wine and apple country, and there is a large gold mine on its doorstep. That gives it both an agricultural economy and a mining payroll, which is an unusual combination.
Mine rosters bring households in and out on contract cycles, while the surrounding orchards and vineyards run on a seasonal workforce. Cold-weather clothing moves here on a genuine seasonal cycle rather than a fashion one.
Driving is easy and the centre is compact. Winter here is real rather than nominal, so for anything being collected in the colder months it is worth agreeing a daylight time.
Orange, in New South Wales, has around 42,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Orange
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.

Common questions
Where can I sell a rucksack in Orange?

Is it actually waterproof?
Say what you have observed rather than what the label claims. Coatings degrade, and a bag described as waterproof that wets through is a real complaint.
