Used school uniforms in Brisbane typically sell for A$10 to A$48 (about $7 to $34). Uniform is strictly seasonal and often school-specific, which narrows the buyer pool but makes demand intense at the right moment.
Selling a school uniform in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane, in Queensland, has around 2.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
