Used washing machines in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$150 to C$565 (about $110 to $405). Nobody buys a used washing machine on looks — they buy on the belief that it will not flood the kitchen, so your job is to evidence that it works.
Selling a washing machine 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

What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- Recent purchase with proof of age
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Door seal mould, which buyers see immediately
- Error codes on any cycle
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Run a short cycle and watch the whole thing: fill, wash, drain and spin. Note any grinding, banging or leaking.
- Clean the detergent drawer, door seal and filter. A mouldy seal is the single thing that makes a buyer walk away.

Put in the description
- Brand, model number, drum capacity in kg and spin speed in rpm
- Freestanding or integrated
Brand, capacity and spin speed are the search: “Bosch 8kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, Working”. Capacity in kilograms matters to families and is often left out. If it is integrated rather than freestanding, that must be in the title — it fits an entirely different kitchen.
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.
