Used cat trees in Denver typically sell for $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 Denver
Denver is the gateway to serious mountain recreation and the second-hand market reflects it entirely. Ski and snowboard gear, camping equipment and bikes change hands constantly, and buyers here know exactly what a used set-up is worth.
Gear turns over on a seasonal cycle that is unusually sharp here: ski equipment floods the market in spring and disappears by November, and camping gear does the reverse. Timing a purchase against that is worth real money.
On ski and snowboard gear, ask the age of the bindings and whether they can still be adjusted and tested. Older bindings are frequently past the point where a shop will service them, which makes them worth less than they look.
Denver, in Colorado, has around 715,000 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. Colorado Springs, Aurora and Fort Collins are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Denver
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
What cat trees are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid, stable bases that do not rock
- Removable, washable covers
What pulls it down
- Wobbling bases, which cats avoid
- Odour, which is difficult to remove entirely
Working out what yours is worth
- Push the top platform to check for wobble
- Clean thoroughly and photograph in daylight
Getting it ready
- Check the sisal posts for shredding and the platforms for wobble, and tighten every bolt.
- 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.
Photograph
- The whole tree upright, whole, against a plain wall
- The base and any wobble point, plus every worn, shredded or stained area
Put in the description
- Overall height and base footprint
- Whether it dismantles, and whether all fixings are present
Steady all year, with a small lift after Christmas and when people take on new cats in spring. Tall, clean, sturdy trees sell within a week.
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.

Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The grid layout and generous parking make collection easy, and most of the metro is reachable within half an hour outside rush hour. Altitude and dry air are worth mentioning for anything with seals or adhesives that has been stored a long time.
Does it smell?
