Used cat trees in Vancouver, British Columbia 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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
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.
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
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.

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 Vancouver?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
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.
