Used TVs in Mackay typically sell for A$115 to A$765 (about $81 to $540). Televisions are sold on screen condition and panel type, and the one thing every buyer fears is a cracked or blemished panel they cannot see in a photograph of a switched-off screen.
Selling a TV in Mackay
Mackay is a sugar town that became a mining service town, sitting between the cane fields and the coal basin inland. A large part of the working population is on rotation rather than resident full time, and that shapes both what people buy and how quickly they sell it again.
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.

Effectively a collection-only item: televisions are fragile, awkward and expensive to post, and courier damage claims on screens rarely succeed. Let the buyer see it powered on before they take it, which suits both of you.
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 TV in Mackay?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
Is the stand included?
Check you have the feet and the correct screws. Say plainly if it is wall-mount only, because that changes what the buyer needs to arrange.
