Used breast pumps in Waterloo typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Be careful here, because the type decides whether you should sell it at all: open-system pumps cannot be hygienically shared and should not be passed on, while closed-system and hospital-grade pumps are designed to be.
Selling a breast pump in Waterloo
Waterloo is the university half of the twin-city region, with an engineering and computer science school that feeds the surrounding technology sector and a large insurance industry alongside it. The student population is enormous relative to the city’s size and the co-op terms mean it turns over several times a year rather than once.
Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What breast pumps are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with replacement parts available
- Hospital-grade models, which hold value best
What pulls it down
- Missing tubing and shields, which are model-specific
- Degraded motors with reduced suction
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm whether the pump is a closed or open system
- Sterilise all parts and photograph them clean
Getting it ready
- Establish whether your pump is open or closed system. If milk can reach the tubing or the motor, it is open, and it should not be resold for use.
- For a closed-system pump, sterilise everything and note which parts a new owner must replace themselves — valves, membranes, tubing and flanges.

- The motor unit with the model number legible
- Any documentation stating it is a closed system, if you have it
Put in the description
- Single or double, and whether mains, battery or both
- Which parts are included and which the buyer should replace themselves
Light and easy to post. Send the motor and hard parts only, and tell the buyer plainly to fit new personal parts before first use.
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.
