Selling a cat tree in Hamilton
Hamilton has a steel and manufacturing history and has absorbed a great deal of movement out of Toronto in search of cheaper housing. Tools and workshop equipment have a genuine local market, and the older housing stock means full-size furniture fits.
Arrivals from Toronto typically move from a condo to a house and buy furniture to fill it, while the industrial base keeps tools and equipment turning over independently of the housing market.
On used tools, ask whether they came from a trade or a home workshop. Trade tools are usually better maintained but have done far more work, and the price should reflect which you are buying.
Hamilton, in Ontario, has around 570,000 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. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cat tree in Hamilton?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
Are the posts worn out?
Photograph the sisal. Rewrapping a post is a cheap job many buyers will happily do, but they need to see how much is left.
