Used ladders in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$47 to C$225 (about $34 to $160). Ladders sell on height and class, and there is one rule worth stating plainly: a ladder with a bent stile or a damaged rung should be scrapped, not sold.
Selling a ladder in Vancouver
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 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. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver

Type, height and class: “Aluminium Extension Ladder, 3.5m Closed, 6m Extended, Class 1”. Both lengths matter because one decides reach and the other decides transport. Duty class is a genuine search for trade buyers.
