Used scooters in Brisbane typically sell for A$29 to A$170 (about $20 to $120). Kick scooters are outgrown quickly by children and used hard by commuters, so the deck and wheels tell the story.
Selling a scooter in Brisbane
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
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 has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, 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.

Folds small enough to post for children’s and commuter models. Electric scooters have battery shipping restrictions — check with your courier before promising anything.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a scooter in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
Is there play in the bars?
Grip the deck and twist the bars. Clamp play is the standard fault and is usually a simple tighten, but should be mentioned.
