Used ski gear in Australia typically sells for A$96 to A$670 (about $67 to $470). Ski gear sells as a matched set for one person, so group by size and say clearly whether bindings have been adjusted and by whom.

Selling ski gear in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the binding model and year against the current indemnified list
- Look at the base for gouges reaching the core
Getting it ready
- Note the ski length, boot mondopoint size and binding DIN range.
- Check the ski bases for gouges, the edges for rust and the boot liners for compression.

Put in the description
- Ski length in centimetres and the ski type
- Boot mondopoint size and flex rating
- Binding model and DIN range
Contents and sizes: “Ski Set — 165cm Skis, Bindings, Boots Size 27.5, Poles”. Ski length and boot mondopoint are the two filters. Say whether the bindings will need professional adjustment, which they generally will.
November through February, peaking before the season. Ski gear listed in spring sells for considerably less.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$671 a buyer pays is the A$671 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell ski gear in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Will the bindings fit my boots?
Give the binding model and DIN range and say that a shop will need to adjust and test them. Never suggest bindings are ready to use as set.
What is a core shot?
A gouge deep enough to expose the ski’s core. It lets water in and needs professional repair, so it significantly lowers value.
Are used ski boots worth selling?
Yes, but liners pack out with use and become moulded to the original owner. Say honestly how many days they have done.
