Used floor lamps in Edmonton typically sell for C$28 to C$170 (about $20 to $120). A floor lamp is an easy sale with one hard requirement: the buyer needs to see that the wiring and plug are sound, because that is the only thing that makes it risky.
Selling a floor lamp 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.
What floor lamps are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised design and mid-century pieces
- Safe, modern wiring or a recent rewire
What pulls it down
- Torn, stained or replacement shades
- Generic modern lamps, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the flex and plug for perishing or damage
- Look for a maker’s mark on the base
Getting it ready
- Plug it in and test it with a working bulb. Check the switch, and flex the cable gently along its length looking for cracked insulation.
- Inspect the plug for scorching and the cable entry at the base and the lampholder, which are the wear points.

- The base, the switch and the plug
- The shade inside and out, plus any dent, chip, rust or cable damage
Put in the description
- Bulb fitting type and maximum wattage, from the label near the lampholder
- Whether the cable, plug and switch are sound, and whether the shade is included
Style, material and height: “Brass Arc Floor Lamp, 180cm, Marble Base” or “Mid Century Tripod Floor Lamp, Teak”. Height matters because buyers are matching a specific corner, and the shade fitting type matters to anyone planning to replace it.
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.
