Selling a dog crate in Canberra
Canberra is a planned government city with high average incomes, a large public service and two universities. People here replace things while they still have plenty of life left in them, so the second-hand quality is unusually high relative to the price asked.
The city was designed around driving and is organised into distinct town centres, so naming which one you are near saves everyone a long trip. Parking is plentiful and free in most places, which makes collecting large items easy.
On office furniture, check the gas cylinder and the mechanism. A lot of very good chairs come onto the market here looking barely used, with the one expensive part already worn out.
Canberra, in Australian Capital Territory, has around 460,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Canberra
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Size and type: “Large Folding Dog Crate, 91cm, 2 Doors with Tray”. Length in centimetres is the real search; the manufacturer’s size labels are inconsistent between brands. Say whether it folds flat, which decides transport and storage.
