Used floor lamps in Yellowknife 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 Yellowknife
Yellowknife is the territorial capital on the shore of a very large lake, built first on gold and now on diamond mining, and it is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Winter roads across the ice are a normal part of how the region is supplied.
The town is compact and everything is a short drive. Extreme cold is the real constraint for several months of the year — vehicles are left running and outdoor handovers need to be brief, so agree somewhere you can both step inside.
On anything with a battery, seals or hydraulics, ask how it was stored through winter. Extreme cold here is a different order from the south, and it kills batteries and perishes rubber outright.
Yellowknife, in Northwest Territories, has around 20,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Montreal and Calgary are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What floor lamps are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised design and mid-century pieces
- Original shades in matching condition
What pulls it down
- Torn, stained or replacement shades
- Chipped marble and cracked bases
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.
- Clean the shade carefully. Fabric shades mark permanently, so dust rather than wipe unless you know the material.
