Used gold rings in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$75 to C$755 (about $54 to $540). Gold rings are bought on carat and weight, because those set the floor price — so photograph the hallmark and weigh the ring before you write a word.
Selling a gold ring in Vancouver
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver

Getting it ready

- Weigh the ring on a kitchen scale that reads to a tenth of a gram, and note the size.

Put in the description
- Carat, taken from the hallmark, and the total weight in grams
- Ring size, in the local sizing convention
Carat, type and size: “9ct Gold Signet Ring, Size N, 4.2g”. Carat and weight are the two numbers buyers use to sanity-check your price against scrap value, and including them signals that you know what you have. Ring size is essential — without it, most buyers will not enquire at all.
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.
