Used car parts in Halifax, Nova Scotia typically sell for C$38 to C$755 (about $27 to $540). Car parts sell on the part number, not the description — and a few parts, airbags and pretensioners above all, are pyrotechnic and cannot go in the post at all.

Halifax, in Nova Scotia, has around 440,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Cape Breton, Toronto and Montreal are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Weigh before quoting; parts are dense. Drain any fluid, and never post an airbag or pretensioner — they are classed as dangerous goods. Keep a record of the donor vehicle for anything safety related.
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.
