Used running shoes in Calgary typically sell for C$28 to C$130 (about $20 to $94). Used running shoes sell on mileage, and that is the number every runner wants — so estimate the miles honestly and photograph the midsole compression.
Selling running shoes in Calgary
Calgary is an energy city with high incomes, cold winters and immediate access to the mountains. Ski and camping equipment circulate constantly, and the boom-and-bust rhythm of the industry shows up directly in what comes onto the market.
The city is easy to drive and parking is generous, so collecting large items is straightforward for most of the year. Between December and March, weather rather than logistics is the limiting factor.
On ski bindings, ask the age and whether a shop will still adjust and test them. Older bindings are frequently past the indemnified list, which quietly makes them worth much less than they look.
Calgary, in Alberta, has around 1.3 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Calgary
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Brand, model, size and mileage: “Nike Pegasus 40, UK 9, approx 150 miles”. Mileage in the title is unusual and immediately credible to runners. Always say which sizing system, and mention a wide fitting if it is one, because that is a deliberate search.
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.
