Second-hand pet supplies in Townsville typically sells for A$19 to A$345 (about $13 to $240). Materials that can be scrubbed properly hold their price where soft furnishings do not, since buyers worry about what cannot be cleaned out. Recognised brands with spare parts still available keep their money noticeably better.
Buying pet supplies in Townsville
Townsville is the largest city in the tropical north and it runs on three things: the army garrison, the university and the port. It also sits in the cyclone belt, so people here think about how things are stored in a way that inland cities never have to.
Pet equipment is bulky, awkward to post and usually needed at short notice, so it moves locally almost without exception. Much of it is bought for an animal that outgrew it or never took to it, and comes up barely used.
What to check in person
Check cages and crates for bent bars and catches that no longer close properly, because a door that does not latch makes the whole thing useless. On a tank, look along every seal for perished silicone and ask to see it holding water.
Collecting it in Townsville
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
Almost everyone drives, and the city is flat and spread out, so collection is straightforward as long as you agree the suburb. In the wet season a downpour can close a road at short notice, so it is worth agreeing what happens if the weather turns rather than assuming.

Military postings move whole households in and out on a two to three year cycle, and the university adds its own arrivals and departures each year. Between them the supply of good, barely-used household goods is more reliable here than the population would suggest.
Photograph it fully assembled as it would actually be used, since a flat-packed heap tells a buyer nothing. State what you cleaned it with, and be honest about how long the previous animal had it. Steady through the year, with a lift after Christmas and through the summer.
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
