Used surfboards in Waterloo typically sell for C$150 to C$850 (about $110 to $605). Surfboards sell on dimensions and whether the board has taken water, so give the length, width, thickness and volume, and be honest about any dings.
Selling a surfboard in Waterloo
Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
In the last week of a co-op term, look at the item in person if you can. A great deal changes hands very fast here at that point, and speed is exactly when the obvious check gets skipped.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton 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.
