Used drum kits in Edmonton typically sell for C$225 to C$1,150 (about $160 to $810). Drum kits sell on shell pack completeness and what hardware is included, so count every stand and say plainly whether cymbals come with it.
Selling a drum kit in Edmonton
Edmonton has some of the coldest winters of any major North American city and an economy built on energy and services. Serious winter clothing is a necessity rather than a seasonal purchase, and indoor hobbies and equipment have a correspondingly deep market.
Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.
Ask whether the item spent winters somewhere heated. Extreme cold is hard on plastics, batteries and adhesives, and the damage does not show until something is put under load.
Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edmonton
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
