Energy employment moves households in and out in waves rather than steadily, and a downturn puts a great deal of good equipment onto the market at once. Outdoor gear follows a sharp seasonal cycle on top of that.
The city is easy to drive and parking is generous, so collecting large items is straightforward for most of the year. Between December and March, weather rather than logistics is the limiting factor.

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.
What car parts are worth
What lifts the price
- Unused or low-mileage removed components
- Complete assemblies rather than partial
What pulls it down

Working out what yours is worth

Getting it ready

Photograph
- All mating faces, threads and connectors
- Any damage, corrosion, wear or missing fixing
Put in the description
- Whether genuine, OEM-equivalent or aftermarket
- Condition, and whether it was removed working or from a damaged vehicle
Part, vehicle, years and part number: “Alternator, [Make Model] 2.0 TDI 2012-2016, Part No. [number]”. The part number does more than any description because buyers search it directly. Say genuine, OEM or aftermarket, and give the donor vehicle’s mileage on wear items.
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.
