Used sunglasses in Hamilton typically sell for C$19 to C$225 (about $13 to $160). Designer frames hold value reasonably, but the market is full of counterfeits, so anything that proves authenticity is worth including.
Selling sunglasses in Hamilton
Hamilton has a steel and manufacturing history and has absorbed a great deal of movement out of Toronto in search of cheaper housing. Tools and workshop equipment have a genuine local market, and the older housing stock means full-size furniture fits.
The city sits on and below an escarpment, and which side of it someone is on is worth establishing before agreeing anything heavy. Driving and parking are otherwise easy compared with Toronto.
On used tools, ask whether they came from a trade or a home workshop. Trade tools are usually better maintained but have done far more work, and the price should reflect which you are buying.
Hamilton, in Ontario, 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. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Working out what yours is worth
- Find the model and serial markings on the inside of the arm
- Hold the lenses to the light at an angle to reveal scratches
Getting it ready
- Clean the lenses properly and inspect them at an angle for scratches, which are almost invisible head on.
- Find the model number, colour code and lens width printed on the inside of the arm, and photograph it.

Put in the description
- Brand, model number and colour code from the arm
- Lens width, bridge and arm length, printed on the inside of the arm
Brand, model number and colour: “Ray-Ban RB2140 Wayfarer, Tortoise, 50mm”. The model number is exactly how buyers search designer eyewear, and the lens width matters for fit. Say whether the original case is included, because on designer frames it adds real value.
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.
