Used Android phones in Burnaby typically sell for C$94 to C$755 (about $67 to $540). Android handsets lose value faster than iPhones, and the spread is mostly about which maker built it and how long it will keep getting security updates.
Selling an Android phone in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Burnaby, in British Columbia, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Burnaby

What Android phones are worth
What lifts the price
- A maker with a long software-update commitment still running
- Original charger, box and any case bought with it
What pulls it down
- Devices past their security-update window
- Any bootloader unlock or custom ROM still installed
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for burn-in by displaying a plain grey image full screen
- Search sold listings for that exact model and storage tier
Getting it ready
- Note the exact make, model and storage from Settings → About phone. “Android phone” alone is not a listing.
- Remove your Google account, then factory reset. A phone still tied to your account triggers factory reset protection and is unusable to the buyer.
Photograph
- Back and sides in daylight, revealing scratches and dents
- Any crack or deep scratch, close up
Put in the description
- Android version installed, and whether updates are still supported
- Battery condition, and whether the screen or battery has been replaced
Small, valuable and a common target for payment fraud. Confirm cleared funds before it leaves you, and meet in a public place for local handovers.
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.
