Used tents in Kamloops typically sell for C$57 to C$375 (about $40 to $270). Tents sell on capacity and whether they are dry, so the single most persuasive thing you can do is pitch it, photograph it up, and confirm every pole and peg is there.
Selling a tent in Kamloops
Kamloops sits where two rivers meet in dry, open interior country that is close to semi-desert, and it is a rail and highway hub for the whole region. It calls itself the tournament capital for the volume of sport it hosts, and it has a university and a real ranching hinterland.
The university clears student housing each spring, and outdoor equipment turns over constantly because the riding, hunting and ski seasons here are all genuinely used rather than aspirational.
The city is spread across river valleys and hillsides, so agree the neighbourhood rather than a general area. Driving is essential and the hills mean access is worth checking for anything heavy.
Kamloops, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kamloops
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

What tents are worth
What lifts the price
- A flysheet with intact waterproof coating
- Poles with no cracks and elastic still under tension
What pulls it down
- Cracked poles and perished shock cord
- Missing inner tents or pegs
Working out what yours is worth
- Pitch it fully in the garden before listing
- Flex every pole section and check the shock cord tension
Getting it ready
- Count the poles and pegs against the manual, and check the guy lines are all present.
- Check the seams and the groundsheet for leaks, and make sure it is bone dry before packing — a damp tent grows mould in the bag.

Sharply seasonal: April through August, peaking before summer holidays and festivals. A tent listed in November sells slowly and cheaply.
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.

Answer honestly. A tent packed away damp develops mould and a musty smell that never fully leaves, and buyers can smell it immediately.
