Used tennis rackets in Oakville typically sell for C$28 to C$210 (about $20 to $150). Rackets sell on head size, weight and grip, and the detail that decides it is whether the strings are still live or need replacing.
Selling a tennis racket in Oakville
Oakville sits on the lakeshore between the two larger cities either side of it and is one of the wealthier municipalities in the country, with an old harbour town at its centre and a great deal of newer housing around it. What comes onto the market here tends to be better than the average and to be sold because it has been replaced rather than worn out.
Households here replace rather than repair, so goods come onto the market with plenty of life left. Downsizing out of large family homes is the other major source and it puts whole rooms of furniture up at once.
The lakeshore road and the old town centre are the obvious meeting points and parking there is manageable outside summer weekends. Anything large is a straightforward drive; this is not a city where access is the problem.
On designer items, ask for the original receipt or proof of purchase rather than relying on the listing. WishThrift does not authenticate anything, so what the seller can actually show you is the whole of your evidence.

- Grip size, and whether an overgrip is fitted
Brand, model, head size and grip: “Wilson Pro Staff 97, 4 3/8 Grip, Strung”. Grip size is essential and printed on the butt cap. Say whether the strings are fresh, playable or dead — restringing is a known cost buyers factor in.
