Sell Your Studio Monitors in Canada

Used studio monitors in Canada typically sell for C$115 to C$660 (about $81 to $470). Monitors are sold in pairs and judged on driver condition, since a blown driver on one halves the set.

Selling studio monitors 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.

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.

Getting it ready

Confirm both speakers are the same model and revision, and test each independently.
Note whether they are active or passive, the driver size, and what inputs they have.

Put in the description

Brand, model and whether active or passive
Input types: XLR, TRS, RCA

Brand, size and type: “Yamaha HS7 Active Studio Monitors, Pair, 6.5in Woofer”. Driver size is the primary spec and “pair” must be explicit. Say active or passive, since passive monitors need a separate amplifier.

Heavy for their size and the drivers are exposed. Post each separately, well padded, ideally in original boxes.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$661 a buyer pays is the C$661 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 studio monitors 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.

Are they active or passive?

Check the rear for a power inlet. Passive monitors need a separate amp, which is a real extra cost for the buyer.

Should studio monitors be sold as a pair?

Always. Monitors are used in matched pairs, and a single one is worth far less than half a pair.

How do I test monitors?

Play the same full-range material through both and listen for any difference. Mismatched output means a failing driver.
