Used graphics cards in Ottawa typically sell for C$150 to C$945 (about $110 to $675). Graphics cards sell fast and at strong prices, but every buyer has the same worry — whether it has been mined on — so answer that before they ask.
Selling a graphics card in Ottawa
Ottawa is a government town with stable, well-paid employment and severe winters. Turnover is driven by postings and by the two universities rather than by industry, and the goods that appear are generally well kept.
Public service postings and academic terms both move people on predictable schedules. Winter sports equipment appears in spring and disappears by late autumn, which is a reliable pattern to buy against.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, batteries and glue joints. Winters here are long enough that a couple of seasons of storage does real damage.
Ottawa, in Ontario, 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. Toronto, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ottawa
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Working out what yours is worth

Put in the description

- Power connector requirements, card length, and whether the box is included
Consistently strong demand and quick sales at fair prices. Values shift with each new GPU generation launch, so pricing to current market rather than what you paid matters.
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.
