Used cat trees in Nanaimo typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Cat trees are bought on height and sturdiness and sold on hygiene — buyers assume the worst about a used one, so clean it hard and photograph it honestly.
Selling a cat tree in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the ferry schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a drive. A missed sailing is a two-hour problem, not a ten-minute one.
Nanaimo, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nanaimo
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.

What cat trees are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid, stable bases that do not rock
- Larger multi-level designs
What pulls it down
- Odour, which is difficult to remove entirely
- Small single-post units, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Push the top platform to check for wobble
- Inspect the sisal posts for shredding
Getting it ready
- Vacuum every platform and the carpet surfaces, and clean out any enclosed bed thoroughly.
- Be honest about whether the previous cat sprayed on it. That is a smell that does not come out and it must not be a surprise.

Where can I sell a cat tree in Nanaimo?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
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.
