Used office chairs in Ajax typically sell for C$57 to C$340 (about $40 to $240). Office chairs sell on brand and on the state of the gas lift, because a chair that sinks slowly under you is the fault every used buyer has been caught by.
Selling an office chair in Ajax
Ajax was built during the Second World War around a munitions plant and named after a warship, which is why its street names run to naval history. It is now a lakeshore commuter town with a diverse and relatively young population and a long waterfront trail.
Young families dominate here, so children’s equipment moves fast and repeatedly as it is outgrown. Commuter households also relocate for work more often than settled suburbs do.
Ask whether the item has been near the lake air over a winter. Salt from winter road treatment plus lake damp is hard on metal fittings, and it works from the underside where nobody photographs.
Ajax, in Ontario, has around 130,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ajax
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.
