Used divan beds in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$75 to C$415 (about $54 to $295). A divan base sells on size, storage and whether the mattress is included — and hygiene is the question that decides whether a buyer engages at all.
Selling a divan bed 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.
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.
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.
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.
What divan beds are worth
What lifts the price
- Clean, unstained fabric on the base
- Standard sizes with matching headboard fittings
What pulls it down
- Broken drawer runners
- Sagging bases with broken slats or springs
Working out what yours is worth
- Open and close every drawer
- State clearly whether a mattress is included
Getting it ready
- Strip it completely and check the top fabric for stains, which is the first thing every buyer looks for.
- Test the drawers if it has them. Divan drawers run on plastic wheels that break, and a jammed drawer must be disclosed.
Photograph
- The base assembled and bare, shot from a corner so both length and width read
- The top surface in daylight, uncropped, so the fabric condition is plain
Put in the description
- Bed size — single, small double, double, king or super king
- Number of drawers and which sides they open, since that has to suit the buyer’s room
Size and storage are the search: “Double Divan Base, 2 Drawer, Grey” or “King Size Divan with 4 Drawers”. Say in the title whether a mattress is included, because that is the assumption buyers get wrong most often and it wastes both of your time when they do.
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.
