Used dog kennels in Melbourne typically sell for A$57 to A$345 (about $40 to $240). An outdoor kennel is judged on whether it is genuinely weatherproof, and the two details that prove it are a raised floor and a felted, overhanging roof.
Selling a dog kennel in Melbourne
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne has around 5.1 million people in Victoria, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Size and construction: “Large Wooden Dog Kennel, Apex Roof, Raised Floor”. Buyers size by their dog, so give internal dimensions. Insulated and apex-roof are both genuine searches, and a removable roof for cleaning is worth saying.
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.
