Used tents in Trois-Rivieres 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 Trois-Rivieres
Trois-Rivieres sits midway between the province’s two largest cities and is one of the oldest settlements in the country, built on paper mills that have largely closed. It has a university and a preserved old quarter, and it is a working city rather than a commuter one.
Industrial decline left a great deal of trade equipment in private hands, and the university clears student housing each spring. The concentrated summer moving season governs the rest.
The old quarter is compact and walkable and works as a meeting point, though its streets are narrow for anything large. Elsewhere driving is easy and parking is straightforward.
Trois-Rivieres, in Quebec, has around 140,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Trois-Rivieres
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

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
- 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.
