Used jet skis in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$2,850 to C$17,000 (about $2,000 to $12,100). Jet skis are bought on engine hours and how they have been stored, and salt water use is the detail that must be disclosed — it changes the entire maintenance picture.
Selling a jet ski in Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
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.
Handing it over in Vancouver
