Used cookware sets in Hamilton typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Good pans outlast several kitchens, so material and brand matter far more here than age or cosmetic marks.
Selling a cookware set in Hamilton
Hamilton has a steel and manufacturing history and has absorbed a great deal of movement out of Toronto in search of cheaper housing. Tools and workshop equipment have a genuine local market, and the older housing stock means full-size furniture fits.
The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
On used tools, ask whether they came from a trade or a home workshop. Trade tools are usually better maintained but have done far more work, and the price should reflect which you are buying.
Hamilton, in Ontario, has around 570,000 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. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, piece count and material: “Le Creuset 5 Piece Stainless Steel Pan Set, Induction Compatible” or “Non-Stick Cookware Set, 7 Pieces”. Piece count and the words induction compatible are both direct searches, and the second one saves you a stream of identical questions.
