Used rucksacks in Saguenay typically sell for C$28 to C$140 (about $20 to $100). Rucksacks are bought on capacity in litres and sold on the state of the zips — a failing main zip is the single most common reason a good bag is worth very little.
Selling a rucksack in Saguenay
Saguenay sits on a genuine fjord in the north of the province, built around aluminium smelting that runs on local hydroelectricity. It is a francophone city almost entirely, it is a long way from anywhere larger, and its winters are among the coldest in the populated part of the country.
Industrial employment moves households on contract cycles, and the isolation means goods circulate locally for a long time rather than being shipped out. Winter equipment turns over reliably every season.
The city was amalgamated from separate towns that are a real distance apart, so agree which one. Winter is long and severe here, so a daylight time and a weather fallback are both sensible from November onwards.
Saguenay, in Quebec, has around 145,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saguenay
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.

Brand, capacity and type: “Osprey 45L Travel Rucksack, Cabin Size” or “Waterproof Cycling Rucksack, 25L”. Litres is the search term. If it is cabin-compliant for a specific airline size, say so — that brings in buyers with a trip already booked.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a rucksack in Saguenay?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city was amalgamated from separate towns that are a real distance apart, so agree which one. Winter is long and severe here, so a daylight time and a weather fallback are both sensible from November onwards.
Is it actually waterproof?
Say what you have observed rather than what the label claims. Coatings degrade, and a bag described as waterproof that wets through is a real complaint.
