Used play kitchens in Australia typically sell for A$38 to A$190 (about $27 to $135). Play kitchens are big, bought by parents in a hurry, and sold on two things — whether it is wooden or plastic, and whether the accessories are included.
What play kitchens are worth in Australia

Selling a play kitchen in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm all doors, knobs and accessories are present
- Measure it assembled
Getting it ready
- Test any lights, sounds or clicking knobs and replace the batteries so the buyer can see them work.
- Gather every accessory, count the pieces, and decide whether they are part of the sale.

- What accessories are included, counted
Material, brand and contents: “Wooden Play Kitchen, KidKraft, with 20 Accessories”. Wooden is a real search filter because many parents specifically avoid plastic, and the brand name matters for the better-known makes. Say if it needs assembly.
Sharply seasonal, peaking from October to December and again in January. A clean wooden kitchen listed in November sells within days; the same one in May takes weeks.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$192 a buyer pays is the A$192 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a play kitchen in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Are the accessories included?
Say clearly and photograph them together. Parents comparing two listings will choose the one where they can see what they get.
Do the accessories matter?
Yes. Pots, utensils and food pieces are much of the appeal, and a bare kitchen sells for noticeably less.
Can they be dismantled?
Most flat-pack ones can, but keep the fittings. Without them a wooden kitchen often cannot be rebuilt.
