Used tennis rackets in Toronto typically sell for C$28 to C$210 (about $20 to $150). Rackets have a hidden shelf life: the graphite frame loses stiffness over years even if the racket looks new.
Selling a tennis racket in Toronto
Toronto is Canada’s largest city and its most expensive, and the condo boom of the last two decades means an enormous share of the population lives in a small apartment. Furniture sized for a condo moves quickly here; anything built for a house does not.
Rental turnover is high and newcomers to Canada arrive here in greater numbers than anywhere else, so households are constantly being furnished from scratch and cleared out again. Supply is steady rather than seasonal.
Most small handovers happen near a subway or GO station because driving downtown and finding anywhere to stop is genuinely difficult. For condo collections, the building will usually require the service lift to be booked in advance.
Confirm that the building allows a service-lift booking and when. Most condo boards require one, and turning up without it is the commonest reason a Toronto furniture collection has to be rearranged.
Handing it over in Toronto
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

- 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.

Is the frame cracked?
Check the edges and around the grommets carefully. A hairline crack ends the racket’s life and must be disclosed.
