Used record players in Coquitlam typically sell for C$75 to C$415 (about $54 to $295). Record players sell on whether the stylus is usable and the speed is accurate, and buyers assume neither works until you say otherwise.
Selling a record player in Coquitlam
Coquitlam sits at the eastern end of the region where the valley narrows, with mountains directly behind it and a rapid transit extension that arrived only recently and changed how the city works. It is one of a cluster of three cities that function together.
New transit-oriented housing has brought a wave of households furnishing from scratch, and the mountains behind the city mean outdoor equipment turns over on a real seasonal cycle.
The rapid transit stations are the easiest meeting points and have made small handovers far simpler here than they used to be. The city climbs towards the mountains, so for anything heavy confirm whether there are steps up to the door.
Coquitlam, in British Columbia, has around 150,000 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 Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Coquitlam

What record players are worth
What lifts the price
- An intact stylus and cartridge, or a well-regarded cartridge fitted
- Belt-drive and direct-drive decks from respected makers
What pulls it down
- Perished drive belts causing slow or uneven speed
- Cracked or missing dust cover
Working out what yours is worth
- Run the platter and check the speed is steady
- Test both speeds and the tonearm return if fitted
Getting it ready
- Test both speeds with a strobe disc or a phone app, and confirm the platter turns evenly without wow.
- Check whether it has a built-in phono preamp, which decides what the buyer needs to connect it to.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, and drive type: belt or direct
- Cartridge and stylus make, and approximate hours of use
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 stations are the easiest meeting points and have made small handovers far simpler here than they used to be. The city climbs towards the mountains, so for anything heavy confirm whether there are steps up to the door.
Does it have a built-in preamp?
Check the rear panel. Without one the buyer needs a separate phono stage or an amplifier with a phono input, and beginners often do not realise.
