Used tents in Abbotsford typically sell for C$57 to C$375 (about $40 to $270). Tents look fine folded and fail in the field, so buyers care about waterproofing and poles far more than cosmetic condition.
Selling a tent in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the agricultural centre of the valley, with berry and dairy farming on a large scale and a well-known airshow each summer. It sits right on the international border with mountains on both sides, and it is a working farming city rather than a commuter one.
Farm equipment turns over on a working life, and the seasonal berry harvest brings a large temporary workforce that furnishes and clears accommodation on the season. Family housing turns over more slowly.
Driving is essential and trailers are ordinary, which makes anything large easy to move. Farm addresses on rural routes are worth confirming with a landmark rather than relying on a map.
Abbotsford, in British Columbia, has around 155,000 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 Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Abbotsford
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.

What tents are worth
What lifts the price
- Poles with no cracks and elastic still under tension
- Complete with pegs, guylines and inner
What pulls it down
- Mildew from being packed away damp
- Missing inner tents or pegs
Working out what yours is worth

Getting it ready

- Check the seams and the groundsheet for leaks, and make sure it is bone dry before packing — a damp tent grows mould in the bag.

Packs small and posts easily, which is unusual for camping gear. Weigh the packed bag before quoting, since family tents are heavier than they look.
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.
