Used microwaves in Richmond Hill typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Microwaves are cheap, plentiful and sold on cleanliness — but the one thing a buyer genuinely needs to know is whether the door and seal are undamaged.
Selling a microwave in Richmond Hill
Richmond Hill sits on the ridge north of the city and takes its name from the elevation, with a long-established observatory on the edge of town. It is a settled, diverse suburb rather than a new one, and the housing stock spans several decades rather than a single building boom.
A car is assumed and the main north-south roads are the reference points everyone uses. Overnight winter parking restrictions on residential streets are worth checking before you plan a late collection.
On children’s equipment, ask how many children have used it. Items get handed between families here rather than sold once, and the number of previous users tells you far more than a photograph does.
Richmond Hill, in Ontario, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Richmond Hill
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Photograph
- The door seal and latch close up
- The rating plate showing make, model and wattage, plus any dent, rust spot or scratched panel
Put in the description
- Whether the turntable, roller ring and any accessories are included
- That it has been tested, and the state of the door, seal and interior
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.
