Used freezers in Yellowknife typically sell for C$115 to C$470 (about $81 to $335). A freezer sells on capacity, star rating and being demonstrably clean inside — and the one rule that must be passed on is that it should stand upright for hours before being switched on.
Selling a freezer in Yellowknife
Yellowknife is the territorial capital on the shore of a very large lake, built first on gold and now on diamond mining, and it is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Winter roads across the ice are a normal part of how the region is supplied.
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.
Handing it over in Yellowknife

- The rating plate showing make, model, capacity and energy rating
Put in the description
- External width, height and depth in centimetres, and internal capacity in litres
- Star rating and energy rating, and make, model and approximate age
Steady all year with a lift in summer and around house moves. Under counter models in standard widths sell fastest; large chest freezers are slower but face little competition.
