Used vinyl box sets in Geelong typically sell for A$38 to A$230 (about $27 to $160). Box sets are graded as a whole, so the weakest component sets the price — and the box itself is usually the part that has suffered most.
Selling a vinyl box set in Geelong
Geelong built its wealth on wool and then on car manufacturing, and the closure of the plant reshaped the city into a port, university and health town instead. It is the gateway to the surf coast, and close enough to Melbourne that a great many people commute.
Manufacturing decline left a deep pool of good tools in private hands, and the university turns student households over annually. Commuter families moving down from Melbourne add a steady stream of furniture in both directions.
On tools from a manufacturing background, ask their age and whether they ran daily. Ex-industrial equipment is often excellent value here but it has done far more hours than a domestic machine of the same year.
Geelong, in Victoria, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Melbourne, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell a vinyl box set in Geelong?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The city is compact and driving is straightforward, and the rail line to Melbourne makes small handovers easy without a car. For anything large, the waterfront and the centre are easier to load from than the older inner streets.
Is it an original pressing?
Give the catalogue number and any matrix runout markings and let the buyer verify. Reissues are perfectly saleable but must not be described as originals.
