Second-hand pet supplies in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sells for C$19 to C$340 (about $13 to $240). Larger sizes are worth disproportionately more because far fewer come up and they cost a great deal new. A complete setup with its lid, lighting, pump or bedding trays sells well above the bare item.
Buying pet supplies in Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination.
Pet equipment is bulky, awkward to post and usually needed at short notice, so it moves locally almost without exception. Much of it is bought for an animal that outgrew it or never took to it, and comes up barely used.
What to check in person
Ask what animal lived in it and whether it was ever ill, because some conditions persist on surfaces and no marketplace can verify the answer. Work every latch, wheel and fastening, and make sure trays and inserts are all still present.
Collecting it in Vancouver
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
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.
Selling your pet supplies in Vancouver free
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.
Clean and disinfect it thoroughly and say that you have, because it is the first thing a buyer wonders about. Give the internal dimensions rather than the outside ones, and say what species it suited. Steady through the year, with a lift after Christmas and through the summer.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
