Used gaming PCs in Burnaby typically sell for C$470 to C$1,700 (about $335 to $1,200). Prebuilt and self-built machines are judged the same way: buyers price the graphics card and processor and treat everything else as a bonus.
Selling a gaming PC in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Burnaby, in British Columbia, has around 250,000 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 Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Burnaby
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Heavy and vulnerable in transit — graphics cards sag and coolers break loose. Local collection with a live demonstration is strongly preferable, and buyers spending this much usually want 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.
