Sell Your Monitor in Canada

Used monitors in Canada typically sell for C$75 to C$415 (about $54 to $295). Monitors hold value reasonably well because panels last, and the range mostly reflects resolution and refresh rate rather than age.

What monitors are worth in Canada

Guide ranges converted from sterling at the 2 August 2026 rate, not quotes — sellers set their own price. Grades are seller-declared; WishThrift does not inspect or verify them.

What lifts the price

• Higher resolutions and larger panel sizes
• A panel with no dead pixels or backlight bleed

What pulls it down

• Dead or stuck pixels, which buyers check first
• Backlight bleed visible on dark screens

Selling a monitor in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

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.

Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.

Working out what yours is worth

• Display a full-screen black and a full-screen white image to find pixel faults
• Note the exact resolution, refresh rate and panel size

Getting it ready

• Display full-screen white, black, red, green and blue and check for dead or stuck pixels.
• Find the stand, its screws and the correct cable, and check whether it is VESA compatible.

Photograph

• The monitor on, displaying a normal image, straight on
• Full-screen white and full-screen black, evidencing the panel
• The stand, cables and any bezel or screen mark

Put in the description

• Available inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB-C
• Whether the stand and correct cable are included, and VESA compatibility
• Dead pixel count and any backlight bleed

Size, resolution and panel: “24in 1080p IPS Monitor, 75Hz, HDMI and DisplayPort”. Size and resolution are the primary filters. Say which inputs it has, since a buyer with a specific machine needs the right port.

Fragile without the original box. Collection with the monitor powered on is the safer route for both sides.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$415 a buyer pays is the C$415 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a monitor in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Is the stand included?

Confirm the stand and its screws. Replacements are model-specific and awkward to source.

Do computer monitors hold their value?

Better than most computer hardware, because panels last for years and specifications move slowly. High-refresh and high-resolution models hold best.

Does a missing stand matter?

Yes, more than sellers expect. Stands are model-specific, so a monitor without one only suits a buyer who already has an arm or bracket.
