Used angle grinders in Waterloo typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Angle grinders are cheap, common and genuinely dangerous, so the guard is the whole story — never sell one with the guard removed, however common that is.
Selling an angle grinder in Waterloo
Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
In the last week of a co-op term, look at the item in person if you can. A great deal changes hands very fast here at that point, and speed is exactly when the obvious check gets skipped.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Working out what yours is worth
- Spin the spindle by hand feeling for play
- Test the switch releases cleanly
Getting it ready
- Fit the guard if it has been removed and confirm it locks in position. A grinder without a guard should not be sold for use.
- Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.

Put in the description
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
- Bearing condition and whether it runs smoothly
Remove any fitted disc before transport or posting. Box it with the guard secured, and include the spanner — changing a disc without it is awkward.
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.

Where can I sell an angle grinder in Waterloo?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
Does it come with the guard?
Confirm it and photograph it fitted. A guard is not an optional accessory, and a grinder sold without one is being sold for unsafe use.
