Used rucksacks in Surrey typically sell for C$28 to C$140 (about $20 to $100). Rucksacks are technical bags, so the harness, hip belt and zips are what determine value rather than capacity alone.
Selling a rucksack in Surrey
Surrey is among the fastest-growing cities in the country, with a young population, large family households and a great deal of new housing. Practical household goods and children’s equipment dominate what changes hands.
New arrivals furnishing homes and growing families upgrading keep a steady flow of household goods and baby equipment on the market. The mild, wet climate means storage conditions are always worth asking about.
Spread out and built for driving, with easy parking almost everywhere, which makes furniture and appliance collection simple. Distances within the city are longer than they appear on a map.
Surrey, in British Columbia, has around 570,000 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. Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Surrey
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

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.
