Second-hand sports & outdoors in Shawinigan typically sells for C$15 to C$1,150 (about $11 to $810). Commercial-grade equipment holds its money far better than domestic, because it was built for hours a day rather than minutes. Total weight capacity and the maximum user weight both narrow or widen the market considerably.
Buying sports & outdoors in Shawinigan
Shawinigan was built on hydroelectric power and the heavy industry that came with it, and the closure of much of that industry has reshaped the town considerably. It sits on the river in the Mauricie region with genuine wilderness directly behind it.
Home gym equipment is heavy, cheap second hand and almost never worth posting, so it is one of the strongest local categories there is. A great deal of it is bought with good intentions, used briefly and sold on barely marked. Locally, snowboards are one of the few things that move reliably enough to be worth listing on their own.
What to check in person
Try it under load rather than looking at it. Stand on the treadmill while it runs, sit on the bike and turn the resistance up, and listen for the belt or the flywheel. Check the frame welds and the adjustment pins for play.
Collecting it in Shawinigan
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The town is small and driving is easy throughout. Winter is long here, so agreeing a daylight time and allowing for snow is sensible for anything that has to be carried outdoors.

Give the folded and unfolded dimensions and the weight, because the buyer needs to know whether it will go through a door and up the stairs. Say plainly that it needs two people if it does. Peaks hard in January and again in early spring, then falls away over the summer.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
