Used play kitchens in Mackay 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.
Selling a play kitchen in Mackay
Mackay is a sugar town that became a mining service town, sitting between the cane fields and the coal basin inland. A large part of the working population is on rotation rather than resident full time, and that shapes both what people buy and how quickly they sell it again.
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Collection is normal, dismantled if possible. If you take it apart, bag the fixings and tape them to a panel — a kitchen delivered without its screws is a bad afternoon for a parent.
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.
