Used Samsung Galaxy phones in Canada typically sell for C$115 to C$850 (about $81 to $605). Galaxy handsets span budget A-series to flagship S and Z models, and those lines sell in completely different brackets despite sharing a name.

Selling a Samsung Galaxy 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.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
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
- Confirm the exact model code in Settings > About phone
- Run Samsung Members diagnostics to check the panel is original
Getting it ready
- Find the exact model in Settings → About phone, including the S, A or Note designation and the storage.
- Remove your Google and Samsung accounts, then factory reset.

Put in the description
- Battery health from Samsung diagnostics if available
- Whether the AMOLED screen shows any burn-in or green tint
- Unlock status, and whether the S Pen is included on models that use one
Full model and storage: “Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 256GB Unlocked, Phantom Black”. The suffix is essential — Plus and Ultra variants carry big price differences. Colour is worth including because Galaxy colourways are searched by name.
Confirm cleared payment before handover. For local sales, meeting somewhere public and letting the buyer check the screen properly suits both sides.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$849 a buyer pays is the C$849 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 Samsung Galaxy 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.
Is the S Pen included?
On Ultra and Note models say clearly, and confirm it still works. A missing S Pen is an expensive omission.
Which Samsung Galaxy phones hold value best?
The S-series flagships, comfortably. Budget A-series models depreciate very quickly and sell for modest sums within a couple of years.
Does the S Pen need to be included?
If the model shipped with one, yes. Replacements are model-specific and buyers treat a missing S Pen as an immediate cost.
