Sell Your Skateboard in Canada

Used skateboards in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Complete boards sell better than parts, and deck condition is judged by delamination rather than graphics.

Guide ranges converted from sterling at the 2 August 2026 rate, not quotes — sellers set their own price. Grades are seller-declared; WishThrift does not inspect or verify them.

What lifts the price

• Recognised deck and truck brands

What pulls it down

• Delaminated plies, especially at the tail
• Razor tail from heavy braking

Selling a skateboard in Canada

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.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

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.

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.

Working out what yours is worth

• Check the nose and tail for lifting plies
• Spin each wheel and listen to the bearings

Getting it ready

• Identify the deck brand and width, the trucks, the wheel durometer and the bearing rating.
• Check the griptape and note whether the setup is complete and rideable.

Put in the description

• Truck brand and size, wheel size and durometer
• Bearing brand and ABEC rating
• Deck condition including razor tail, chips and delamination

Deck size and components: “Element 8.0in Complete Skateboard, Independent Trucks, Bones Bearings”. Deck width in inches is the primary filter. Naming the trucks and bearings raises the price because those are the expensive parts.

Awkward shape but postable in a long box. Remove or protect the trucks so they do not punch through the packaging.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$226 a buyer pays is the C$226 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a skateboard in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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 size is the deck?

Read the width in inches off the deck or the maker’s listing. It is how every skater chooses.

Should I sell a skateboard complete or in parts?

Complete boards sell faster to beginners. Premium trucks and decks can raise more separately if you are willing to wait.

Do bearings matter?

They are cheap to replace, so gritty bearings lower the price only slightly. Mention them rather than hiding them.
