Sell Your Projector in Canada

Used projectors in Canada typically sell for C$94 to C$565 (about $67 to $405). Projector value is dominated by lamp hours, because a replacement lamp can cost a large share of the projector’s worth.

• Dust inside the light path showing as spots

Selling a projector 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.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

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.

Working out what yours is worth

• Find the lamp hour counter in the menu and state it
• Project a plain white image to reveal dust and dead pixels

Getting it ready

• Find the lamp hours in the menu, usually under Information or Status, and note the rated lamp life.
• Project a white image and check for dust spots, dead pixels and colour banding.

Put in the description

• Brightness in lumens and contrast ratio
• Lamp hours used and the rated lamp life
• Ports available, and whether the remote, cables and bag are included

Resolution, brightness and lamp: “Epson 1080p Projector, 3000 Lumens, 800 Lamp Hours Used”. Lamp hours in the title is unusual and immediately credible. State native resolution rather than the supported maximum, which is how projectors are commonly oversold.

Reasonably robust but the lens needs protecting. Use the original bag if you have one, and never post with a hot lamp recently used.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$566 a buyer pays is the C$566 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 projector 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 remote included?

Say so. Projector menus are difficult to navigate without the remote and replacements are model-specific.

What matters most on a used projector?

Lamp hours. A replacement lamp is expensive, so a projector near end of lamp life is worth far less.

How do I check for dust inside?

Project a plain white image on a wall. Dust in the light path shows as fixed dark spots that do not move.
