Selling a microwave in Coquitlam
Coquitlam sits at the eastern end of the region where the valley narrows, with mountains directly behind it and a rapid transit extension that arrived only recently and changed how the city works. It is one of a cluster of three cities that function together.
The rapid transit stations are the easiest meeting points and have made small handovers far simpler here than they used to be. The city climbs towards the mountains, so for anything heavy confirm whether there are steps up to the door.
The city climbs towards the mountains and a great many homes have steps up to the door. Ask about the approach, not just the floor, before agreeing to collect anything heavy.
Coquitlam, in British Columbia, has around 150,000 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 Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Coquitlam

What microwaves are worth
What lifts the price
- Clean interior with undamaged waveguide cover
- Working turntable, roller ring and plate
What pulls it down
- Rusted interior cavity
- Missing turntable plate, which is size-specific
Working out what yours is worth
- Heat a cup of water and time it to confirm output
- Confirm the turntable plate and roller ring are present
Getting it ready
- Check the door closes squarely and the seal and latch are undamaged, since that is the safety-critical part.
- Heat a mug of water for a minute to confirm it works, and note the wattage and model from the rear plate.

Postable but bulky and easily damaged, so a well-padded box and a taped door are essential. Local collection is usually the sensible route at this price point.
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.
