Second-hand toys & games in Toronto typically sells for C$4 to C$755 (about $3 to $540). Recognised brands hold their money because the parts interchange and collectors already know what they are looking at, while unbranded equivalents hold almost none. Character licences swing sharply with whatever children are currently watching.
Buying toys & games in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment.
Large plastic items cost more to send than they are worth and arrive broken often enough to matter. Fetching a boxful yourself keeps the price where it should be and lets you see what is genuinely in the box.
What to check in person
Count the pieces if a set claims to be complete, and check for the small parts that go missing first. Look for name labels and chew marks, test anything with a motor or a sound, and make sure batteries have not been left in to corrode.
Collecting it in Toronto
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.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.

Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Say honestly whether a set is complete and photograph the pieces laid out rather than in the box. If parts are missing, say which — buyers will still buy, and it saves the conversation that otherwise ends the sale. Builds from October to Christmas, then again in a quieter second-hand wave in January.
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.
