Used iPhones in Hamilton typically sell for C$150 to C$1,150 (about $110 to $810). Almost all of the spread comes down to two things buyers check before anything else: which generation it is, and what the battery health reads.
Selling an iPhone 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.
Handing it over in Hamilton
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 iPhones are worth
What lifts the price
- Carrier-unlocked, with the original box, cable and IMEI clear on checks
- Recent generations still receiving iOS updates
What pulls it down
- A locked handset, or one with any finance or iCloud lock still attached
- Aftermarket screen repairs, which buyers spot from colour and touch response
Working out what yours is worth
- Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health and note the maximum capacity percentage
- Check the model and storage in Settings > General > About
Getting it ready
- Read Settings → Battery → Battery Health and note the maximum capacity percentage. Buyers will ask, and a listing that states it up front outsells one that does not.
- Sign out of iCloud and erase all content and settings, then confirm Activation Lock is off. A locked iPhone is worth almost nothing and cannot be used by anyone else.

- Front, screen on and showing the home screen, so the display is provably working
- Back and both sides, angled to catch the light and reveal any scratches or dents
Put in the description
- Exact model and generation, and the storage capacity in GB
- Battery maximum capacity percentage from the Settings screen
Model, storage and unlock status are the whole search: “iPhone 13 128GB Unlocked, Battery 89%”. Put the battery percentage in the title if it is above about 85% — it is the strongest single signal you can give, and most sellers bury it. Never write just “iPhone for sale”; buyers filter by model and yours will not appear.
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.
