Used tents in Laval 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 Laval
Laval is a large suburban city immediately north of Montreal, with family housing, high car ownership and a predominantly French-speaking population. Household goods and children’s equipment make up most of what moves.
The July moving date that dominates Montreal reaches here too, though less intensely. Family households upgrading and downsizing produce a steadier supply through the rest of the year.
Suburban and built for driving, with generous parking, so collection is easier here than across the river in Montreal. Crossing to the island at peak times is the only real delay.
Laval, in Quebec, has around 440,000 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. Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Laval

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
- Delaminated or flaking waterproof coating
- Cracked poles and perished shock cord
Working out what yours is worth
- Pitch it fully in the garden before listing
- Check the flysheet coating for flaking on the inside
Getting it ready
- Pitch it in a garden or park. It confirms completeness, reveals damage, and gives you the photograph that sells it.
- 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.

Capacity, brand and season rating: “Vango 4 Man Tent, 3 Season, Complete with Poles and Pegs”. Capacity is the primary search. “Complete with poles and pegs” is worth stating explicitly, because missing poles are the standard problem with used tents.
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.

Answer honestly. A tent packed away damp develops mould and a musty smell that never fully leaves, and buyers can smell it immediately.
