Used silver necklaces in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$23 to C$150 (about $16 to $110). Silver necklaces sell on hallmark, length and clasp condition — and the clasp is where most of them fail, so check it before anything else.
Selling a silver necklace 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.
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.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver has around 675,000 people in British Columbia, 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.

Put in the description
- Metal and hallmark, photographed
- Length in inches or centimetres, and chain style
Metal, style and length: “Sterling Silver Belcher Chain, 20in, 925 Hallmarked”. Chain style and length are both searches, and the hallmark is what reassures. Weight in grams is worth including for heavier chains, since buyers use it as a value check.
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.
