Used surfboards in Burnaby typically sell for C$150 to C$850 (about $110 to $605). Boards are priced on dings and water ingress, because a board that has taken on water is heavier and never quite the same.
Selling a surfboard in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Burnaby, in British Columbia, has around 250,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Collection is usual. Posting needs a board bag and a length surcharge, and transit damage on a surfboard is common enough that most sellers avoid it.
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.

Where can I sell a surfboard in Burnaby?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
Has it taken on water?
Press around every ding and check for softness or a sloshing sound. Waterlogging ruins a board and buyers ask specifically.
