Used running shoes in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$29 to A$135 (about $20 to $94). Used running shoes sell on mileage, and that is the number every runner wants — so estimate the miles honestly and photograph the midsole compression.
Selling running shoes in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Perth, in Western Australia, has around 2.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
What running shoes are worth

Working out what yours is worth

Common questions
Where can I sell running shoes in Perth?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Are they neutral or support shoes?
Check the model specification. Runners buy for their gait and a support shoe is unusable for someone who needs neutral.
