Used dog crates in Gold Coast typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Crates are simple and durable, so second-hand value tracks size and whether the tray and door mechanism survived.
Selling a dog crate in Gold Coast
The Gold Coast is a beach and tourism economy with a large transient working population, and both halves of that shape the second-hand market. Water sports gear is everywhere and sells all year, and the high-rise apartment stock means most furniture on the market is sized for a flat rather than a house.
The city is a long strip along the coast rather than a centre with suburbs, so handovers are usually arranged by suburb along the highway or the light rail line. Apartment collections need a lift booking in many of the towers.
Salt air and sun together are hard on everything outdoors. Check hardware for corrosion and plastics for brittleness, and on a board ask about repairs rather than only about the finish.
Gold Coast has around 700,000 people in Queensland, 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. Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Gold Coast
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.

Folds flat, so collection is easy and postage is possible though heavy. Fold it and secure it with a strap before they arrive — an unsecured folding crate opens in a car boot.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
