Used projectors in Vancouver, British Columbia 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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver
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.

What projectors are worth
What lifts the price
- LED and laser light sources, which last far longer
- Original remote, cables and ceiling mount
What pulls it down
- Dust inside the light path showing as spots
- Missing remotes, which are often proprietary
Working out what yours is worth
- Find the lamp hour counter in the menu and state it
- Confirm the remote and cables are present
Getting it ready
- Find the lamp hours in the menu, usually under Information or Status, and note the rated lamp life.
- Check the brightness in lumens and the native resolution from the label or manual.

Put in the description
- Native resolution and supported maximum, stated separately
- Brightness in lumens and contrast ratio
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.
