Used angle grinders in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Angle grinders are cheap, common and genuinely dangerous, so the guard is the whole story — never sell one with the guard removed, however common that is.
Selling an angle grinder in Vancouver
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver

Working out what yours is worth
- Spin the spindle by hand feeling for play
- Test the switch releases cleanly
Getting it ready
- Fit the guard if it has been removed and confirm it locks in position. A grinder without a guard should not be sold for use.
- Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, disc diameter and wattage or battery voltage
- Whether the guard, side handle and spanner are included
Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.
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.
