Selling a varsity jacket in Kalgoorlie
Kalgoorlie is the gold town of the desert interior, built around one of the largest open pits in the world, and it has been mining continuously for well over a century. A large part of the workforce flies in and out rather than living here, and the heat and dust are constants.
Mining rosters govern the whole market. Households are set up for a contract and cleared when it ends, and a downturn puts a great deal onto the market at once. Heat and dust also shorten the life of anything mechanical, so equipment turns over faster than elsewhere.
Driving is the only option and the town is laid out on a grid, which makes meeting simple. Roster weeks matter more than hours here, so establish when the seller is actually in town before anything else.
Check filters, vents and fans for red dust on anything mechanical or electrical. It gets into everything out here, and a machine that has run in it for a year needs cleaning before you judge how it performs.
Kalgoorlie, in Western Australia, has around 30,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Perth, Bunbury and Geraldton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
