Used tents in Moncton 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 Moncton
Moncton is the transport and distribution hub of the region and one of the country’s few genuinely bilingual cities, sitting on a river with a tidal bore that reverses its flow twice a day. It has grown steadily while much of the region has not.
Distribution and call-centre work brings people in on contracts, and the city’s growth means households are being set up here more often than they are being cleared — which makes it a better place to sell than the regional average.
The city is flat, compact and easy to drive in, and parking is not a constraint. It is one of the more straightforward places in the region to arrange a collection.
Moncton, in New Brunswick, has around 80,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Saint John, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Moncton
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
- A flysheet with intact waterproof coating
- Poles with no cracks and elastic still under tension
What pulls it down
- Delaminated or flaking waterproof coating
- Missing inner tents or pegs
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
- Count the poles and pegs against the manual, and check the guy lines are all present.
- 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.
