Used surfboards in Hamilton 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 Hamilton
Arrivals from Toronto typically move from a condo to a house and buy furniture to fill it, while the industrial base keeps tools and equipment turning over independently of the housing market.
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.
Handing it over in Hamilton
