Selling a varsity jacket in Alice Springs
Tourism and government contracts both rotate people through on fixed terms, and they sell up rather than freight things home. Vehicle and camping equipment turns over constantly for exactly the same reason.
Everything is a short drive within town and an extremely long one outside it. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is precisely why buying locally matters here more than almost anywhere else in the country.
Ask whether the item has been out on the tracks. Corrugated dirt roads shake things apart in a way sealed-road use never does, and it shows up in mounts, brackets and fastenings rather than in the bodywork.
Alice Springs, in Northern Territory, has around 26,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Darwin, Sydney and Melbourne are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Alice Springs
