Used camera lenses in Surrey typically sell for C$115 to C$755 (about $81 to $540). Lenses hold value far better than bodies, so the range here is mostly about optical condition rather than age.
Selling a camera lens in Surrey
Surrey is among the fastest-growing cities in the country, with a young population, large family households and a great deal of new housing. Practical household goods and children’s equipment dominate what changes hands.
New arrivals furnishing homes and growing families upgrading keep a steady flow of household goods and baby equipment on the market. The mild, wet climate means storage conditions are always worth asking about.
Spread out and built for driving, with easy parking almost everywhere, which makes furniture and appliance collection simple. Distances within the city are longer than they appear on a map.
For children’s equipment, check the manufacture date and whether it has been recalled. Car seats in particular expire, and a seat past its date should not be resold at any price.
Handing it over in Surrey
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

What camera lenses are worth
What lifts the price
- Glass with no fungus, haze or separation
- Smooth, accurate autofocus with no hunting
What pulls it down
- Fungus, which spreads and is often uneconomic to clean
- Oil on the aperture blades, causing sluggish stopping down
Working out what yours is worth
- Shine a torch through from behind and look for threads or haze
- Run autofocus across its full range listening for grinding
Getting it ready
- Work the zoom and focus rings through their range, and check for wobble in the barrel or a sticking aperture.
- Confirm the exact mount, since a lens that does not fit the buyer’s camera is worthless to them.
Photograph
- Looking through the front element against a bright background, showing the glass is clear
- The focus and zoom rings, plus any scratch on the barrel or filter thread
Put in the description
- Whether it has image stabilisation and autofocus, both working
- Whether caps, hood, filter and case are included
Brand, focal length, aperture and mount, in that order: “Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens”. Photographers search exactly this string. The mount is critical — EF, RF, F, Z, E and MFT are not interchangeable — and omitting it wastes everybody’s time.
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.
