Technology & Social Media Selling collectables, vintage privately in Brisbane

Could anyone suggest if there is any Facebook selling sites, preferably auctions for various items - carnival glass, ceramics, figurines, wall vases, rare metal signs, number plates, ash trays, vases, collectAble toys, etc. Based Southside Brisbane. Thanks in advance!!

 

Don't know any facebook sites ,but this auction outlet in Brisbane is good,depending if you sell or buy..

There is a FB group called 'Sydney retro recycle buy sell & swap'. I'm not sure how big the group is and what prices things go for.
The best auction place for that stuff down here is Lawsons. They have a monthly (I think) auction for C20th stuff.

 

Looking to sell! Have sold a couple of items to Sydney as apparently Sydney has dried up on available items so may be worth taking a look @Depreciator. I'm guessing you are saying your suggestion is good for buying @willair ?

 

Thanks @wylie. It's a shame there doesn't seem to be a FB auction site in Brisbane. Just about every second person I meet in Perth lately are moderators for FB sites. Maybe it's a bigger thing here. They have rare succulents auctions, bulk rubbish pick up auctions and retro auctions that I know of. Yes, I sold a lounge for $30 on the weekend and experienced the marketplace time wasters, eventually sold on a local page. Will keep EBay in mind, didn't think anyone used it anymore. Definitely need some prices, will look into it, thanks. We have sold a few things through the first site you mentioned - lots of dealers and Sydney buyers/dealers on that site. Only need to sell a few hundred more. Mt Gravatt area, I think we joined a site for that location too.

 

They seem to be quite a few Facebook groups that you can sell things on.
I find they work reasonably well there are all the local groups like the 'Paddington surrounds buy sell and swap' and pretty much all other clusters of Suburbs with similar kind of named groups.
I find Facebook quite easy to use to sell things on because you can post the same add to multiple groups and put it on the fb market place as well

 

Yes it is ,most that buy there during the week either sell on gumtree ,or at the weekend flea markets around Brisbane and by the markup they would make a very good living if they know what they are doing..

 

@Propin - if you have anything vintage motorcycle related, I'm interested!

Otherwise, a good mate collects vintage video games and is very clued up on prices. He showed how to look up sold prices on eBay (going into the more options tab when you search for a particular item), to give you a bit more of an idea what to ask privately.

 

Damn- sold the vintage Atari , used once PlayStation 1. I have a mini portable Atari (must be rare -haven't seen one before) but don't seem to have games so I'll dig it up .
I'll find out. I know there was a lot of car parts, etc. are you interested in vintage toy motorcycles? I have a vague memory of one.

 

Sorry, slow reply - escaped for the weekend!
If you track down any games I'm sure that he'd be keen - he seems to have every console ever made, one of his bedrooms is completely dedicated to video games! Unbelievable, but very cool!

Would be keen on seeing the toy bikes, I don't collect them - but a few mates do, I can pass on pics/details etc.

 

There was a couple of Spider-Man on motorcycles that have been gifted. All the electronic games are gone. This is the one I have but I'm still checking it out. My son said the games were missing but I just looked up the manual and it says they are loaded in the console already. Will check it out some time in coming weeks! It appears brand new.
