Used record players in Vancouver, British Columbia 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 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 record players are worth

- An intact stylus and cartridge, or a well-regarded cartridge fitted
- Original dust cover with no cracks
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
- Check the stylus under magnification for wear, and note the cartridge make and model if you can read it.
- Test both speeds with a strobe disc or a phone app, and confirm the platter turns evenly without wow.

Brand, model and preamp status: “Audio-Technica AT-LP60X Turntable with Built-in Preamp”. Whether it has a phono stage is genuinely decisive for a first-time buyer. Say whether the stylus is new or worn, since it is a known replaceable cost.
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.

Where can I sell a record player in Vancouver?

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.
