Used floor lamps in Richmond, British Columbia 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 Richmond
Richmond is built on flat delta islands at sea level, protected by dykes, and it has one of the highest proportions of residents born outside the country of any city in Canada. The international airport sits inside its boundaries, which shapes a great deal of the local economy.
The city is completely flat, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to move anything, and the dyke paths are genuinely useful for cycling. The rapid transit line to the airport is the obvious landmark for a small handover.
The whole city sits at or near sea level behind dykes, so ask whether anything stored at ground level has been damp. It is a normal question here and honest sellers will answer it directly.
Richmond, in British Columbia, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Richmond
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Working out what yours is worth

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.
