Used cat trees in Hobart typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Cat trees are cheap new at the budget end, so second-hand value depends almost entirely on how clean and sturdy it is.
Selling a cat tree in Hobart
Hobart is the country’s second-oldest city and the coldest of its capitals, with a great deal of genuinely old housing stock still standing below the mountain. It is the departure point for Antarctic expeditions and has a strong arts and market culture, and both of those put unusual things into circulation.
Antarctic and research programmes rotate people through on fixed contracts, and the colonial-era housing stock turns over with genuinely old contents. Winter here is long and cold, so warm clothing and heating-adjacent goods move seasonally.
Measure the stairwell and the doorway, not just the item. A great deal of housing here is old, steep and narrow, and that is the commonest reason a furniture collection falls through in this city.
Hobart, in Tasmania, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Launceston, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hobart
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. Around Battery Point, North Hobart and Sandy Bay are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Height and features: “150cm Cat Tree with Hammock and 2 Beds, Sisal Posts”. Height is the search and stability is the concern, so mention the base size for a tall unit. Say if it dismantles, which decides whether it fits in a car.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cat tree in Hobart?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow and steep, so access matters more here than the short distances suggest. The waterfront and the centre are the easy places to meet; anything up the slope needs a conversation about parking.
Does it smell?
Answer honestly, including whether the previous cat sprayed on it. This is the one thing that makes a cat tree worthless, and it cannot be hidden at collection.
