Where do I sell vintage cameras and film photography gear in Australia?
eBay AU is the strongest channel for vintage cameras — it has the widest pool of collectors and photography enthusiasts. Include: brand, model, tested vs untested, film loaded/not loaded, and shutter speed accuracy if tested. Photograph the viewfinder, lens, film compartment, and any cosmetic wear. Niche Facebook groups ('Film Photography Australia', 'Buy/Sell Film Cameras Australia') also move gear quickly within the community. Gumtree is an option for local pickup on heavier or older equipment.

Key things to know for Australian sellers
Australian online selling has its own quirks: GST registration thresholds, Australia Post rate structures, and platform-specific buyer behaviour differ from the US and UK advice you'll find most readily online. Checking ATO guidance directly and using the Australia Post postage calculator for accurate quotes are good starting points.
Using multiple platforms together
Most successful Australian resellers end up selling across at least two platforms. The marginal effort to list on a second platform is much lower if you already have photos and a description, and reaching two different buyer pools meaningfully increases your chances of a sale.
