Selling a chest of drawers in Canada

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.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Getting it ready

Empty every drawer and run each one in and out. Sticking runners can often be fixed with a candle rubbed along the wooden runner.
Wipe the top. It is the surface buyers look at first and usually carries ring marks or heat damage.

Put in the description

Height, width and depth in centimetres
Material and finish — solid wood, veneer, painted or laminate

Lead with material, drawer count and style: “Solid Pine Chest of Drawers, 5 Drawer, Waxed” or “1960s Teak Chest of Drawers, 6 Drawer”. Drawer count is a real search term because buyers are matching a space, and the era matters for anything mid-century.

Collection, and remove the drawers before lifting — an empty carcass is a fraction of the weight and far easier through a doorway. Tell the buyer that in advance so they bring the right vehicle, not the right optimism.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$340 a buyer pays is the C$340 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a chest of drawers in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.

Can it be painted?

Say what the finish is. A waxed or oiled surface needs different preparation from a laminate, and a large share of buyers for chests are planning to repaint.

What makes a chest of drawers valuable?

Solid wood with dovetailed drawer joints, and drawers that still run properly. Those two things do most of the pricing.

Do original handles matter?

On antique and design pieces, yes. Replaced handles are noticed and reduce the price on anything collectable.
