Used baby monitors in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Monitors date quickly because the technology moves, so recent models with working batteries carry most of the value.

Selling a baby monitor in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge the parent unit fully and time how long it lasts
- Test the camera and night vision in a dark room
Getting it ready
- Factory reset the monitor and remove it from your account entirely, then confirm it can be paired fresh.
- Gather both power supplies, any wall mount and the original box if you have it.

Put in the description
- Whether it works standalone or needs a phone app that is still supported
- Parent unit battery life as you actually observe it now
- What is included — both power supplies, mount, spare camera
Brand, model and type: “Motorola Video Baby Monitor, 5in Screen, Model MBP…” or “Audio Only Baby Monitor, DECT”. Say video or audio, and whether it is a standalone camera-and-parent-unit pair or app based, because that distinction decides whether it still works at all.
Small and easy to post. Include both power supplies — they are often proprietary voltages and a monitor arriving without its charger is effectively broken.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$170 a buyer pays is the C$170 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a baby monitor in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
How long does the parent unit last on a charge?
Time it and give a real figure. Rechargeable parent units degrade first, and an honest two hours is better than a claimed eight.
Are used baby monitors worth selling?
Video models with healthy batteries sell reasonably. Audio-only units and app-based models that lost support sell for very little.
Do app-based monitors still work if discontinued?
Often not. If the maker has withdrawn the app, the monitor may be unusable, so check before listing.
