Used angle grinders in Yellowknife 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 Yellowknife
Mine rotations and government postings both move households on fixed cycles, and the cost of freighting anything in or out means people sell up locally rather than ship. Good cold-weather gear is genuinely valuable here and moves fast.
The town is compact and everything is a short drive. Extreme cold is the real constraint for several months of the year — vehicles are left running and outdoor handovers need to be brief, so agree somewhere you can both step inside.
On anything with a battery, seals or hydraulics, ask how it was stored through winter. Extreme cold here is a different order from the south, and it kills batteries and perishes rubber outright.
Yellowknife, in Northwest Territories, has around 20,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Montreal and Calgary are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Does it come with the guard?
