Used microwaves in Vaughan 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 Vaughan
Vaughan grew from farmland into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country within a generation, and it now has a subway connection and a downtown core that did not exist twenty years ago. Warehousing and distribution are a large part of what happens here, alongside a great deal of new housing.
Driving is assumed and the road network is built for it, so collecting something large is genuinely easy here compared with the older city to the south. Agree a plaza or a landmark rather than trying to describe a subdivision.
On anything from a new-build home, check the fit rather than the condition. A great deal here is sold because it did not suit the next house, which means good pieces at good prices — but measure your own space first.
Vaughan, in Ontario, has around 325,000 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 Vaughan
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.

- The unit front on, door closed, clean
- The rating plate showing make, model and wattage, plus any dent, rust spot or scratched panel
Put in the description
- Wattage, internal capacity in litres and external dimensions
- 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.

Does the door seal properly?
Check the latch and seal and answer directly. A damaged door or seal is the one fault that makes a microwave genuinely unsafe rather than merely tired.
