[Vancouver, 🇨🇦] Need to quickly sell Columbia Bugaboot 3s--options?
The SKU I have goes for ~$60-75 USD on eBay, less worn versions can go up to $110. IIRC eBay has a price history function, but for the life of me I can't find it.

Please do not put words in my mouth, thanks.
What I was saying was, the Canadian used market and the U.S. used market are very different.
For the record: $32.99 + $10.99 shipping = $44 USD. With the exchange rate, that's nearly $63 CAD. More if you live in a state with sales tax, like WA.

No I meant it as a "different strokes for different folks" kind of response

I recommend scrolling up to the beginning, to take in the story so far. It will also give you insight into my decisions. No rush, though.

I also noticed you didn't mention whether I could get away with the standard Heattech base layers (which were $10 cheaper than the Extra Warm, not sure if the sale is still going on though)

These were $29.90, and I bought two. https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/products/E472629-000?colorCode=COL09&sizeCode=SMA003
These were $19.90 (at the time) but only rated to +5°C: https://www.uniqlo.com/ca/en/products/E472619-000
This was the mid-layer I bought, it wasn't cheap: https://www.uniqlo.com/us/en/products/E450195-000/00?colorDisplayCode=09&sizeDisplayCode=005

There's no official Hoka store in Vancouver but Fit First Footwear is pretty close to me. Which is good because otherwise I'd have to hit up The Running Room or Forerunners, which are an hour+ by transit.

What are the essentials for winter clothing? (Tops/bottoms)
Why do you emphasize the warmest down ones and to avoid the lightweight versions? Wouldn't that be excessive for Vancouver? Especially now that it's warming up here. Any suggestions on rain jackets from Uniqlo too? I know that the waterproof material on the down jackets isn't permanent--once the material gets stripped off, does the jacket become worthless?

Next on my shopping list are the following:
-Rain-resistant, cushioned Hokas to replace my pair of Pegasus 38s, which not only have the cushioning worn out, but also have turned into swiss cheese. Sporting Life's selection was pretty shit, honestly. Where do people buy Hokas in Canada if they want to try them on in-person? Specialty running stores?
-A replacement pair of summer walking shoes. I'm sorely tempted with the Pegasus 41s but they're $180 and I've already spent quite a bit of money. Plus, summer's a long ways away.
-A longer down jacket in my size. May have to go Uniqlo if I can't find a used Summit in 2-3XL for under $200 (which is highly likely, they're like $250+ used)
