Used wardrobes in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$94 to C$565 (about $67 to $405). A wardrobe is bought on internal dimensions and sold on whether it can actually be moved — so state both, and say whether it dismantles.
Selling a wardrobe 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.
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.
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.

What wardrobes are worth
What lifts the price
- Antique and mid-century pieces with a following
- Original keys for lockable pieces
What pulls it down
- Doors that no longer hang square
- Missing shelves, rails or fittings
Working out what yours is worth
- Measure height, width and depth, and check your own doorways
- Open and close every door to check the hang
Getting it ready
- Measure the external height, width and depth, and the internal hanging height, which is what buyers actually need.
- Check whether it dismantles and whether you have the fittings. A flat-pack wardrobe that has been built once often will not survive a second build — say so if that is the case.

Put in the description
- External height, width and depth in centimetres
- Internal hanging height, and how many rails and shelves
Doors, size and material: “3 Door Solid Pine Wardrobe with Mirror, 180cm Tall”. Height matters because buyers have ceilings and stairwells to think about. If it dismantles, say so in the title — it hugely widens the pool of buyers who can physically take it.
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.
