Used e-readers in Toronto typically sell for C$47 to C$170 (about $34 to $120). E-readers are simple, long-lived devices, so the range mostly reflects screen condition and whether it still syncs.
Selling an e-reader in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment. Furniture sized for a condo moves quickly here; anything built for a house does not.
Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Toronto, in Ontario, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ottawa, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Toronto
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.

Brand, model and features: “Kobo Clara HD E-Reader, 6in, Front Light, 8GB”. Brand matters because each is tied to its own store and format support. Say whether it takes EPUB, which is a genuine differentiator for buyers with existing libraries.
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.
