Used projectors in Calgary typically sell for C$94 to C$565 (about $67 to $405). Projectors sell on lamp hours and brightness, and the number every buyer wants is how many hours are left on the bulb.
Selling a projector in Calgary
Calgary is an energy city with high incomes, cold winters and immediate access to the mountains. Ski and camping equipment circulate constantly, and the boom-and-bust rhythm of the industry shows up directly in what comes onto the market.
Energy employment moves households in and out in waves rather than steadily, and a downturn puts a great deal of good equipment onto the market at once. Outdoor gear follows a sharp seasonal cycle on top of that.
The city is easy to drive and parking is generous, so collecting large items is straightforward for most of the year. Between December and March, weather rather than logistics is the limiting factor.
Calgary, in Alberta, has around 1.3 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

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.
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.
