Used record players in Burnaby typically sell for C$75 to C$415 (about $54 to $295). The gap between a working vintage deck and a modern all-in-one is wide, and buyers in each group want quite different things.
Selling a record player in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
Burnaby, in British Columbia, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What record players are worth
What lifts the price
- A working motor running at correct, stable speed
- Original dust cover with no cracks
What pulls it down
- Worn or missing stylus, which the buyer must replace before use
- All-in-one suitcase players, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Inspect the stylus tip under magnification for wear
- Test both speeds and the tonearm return if fitted
Getting it ready
- Check the stylus under magnification for wear, and note the cartridge make and model if you can read it.
- Check whether it has a built-in phono preamp, which decides what the buyer needs to connect it to.
Photograph
- The cartridge and stylus close up
- The platter, belt or drive, plus any damage to the plinth or lid
Put in the description
- Cartridge and stylus make, and approximate hours of use
- Speed accuracy, and whether the lid, mat and counterweight are present
Fragile. Secure or remove the platter and the counterweight before posting, and protect the tonearm and stylus separately — those are what arrive broken.
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.

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
Is the stylus worn?
Inspect it and be honest about hours used. Styli are consumable and buyers accept replacing one, but a worn stylus damages records so it must be disclosed.
