Used TVs in Yellowknife typically sell for C$115 to C$755 (about $81 to $540). Televisions are sold on screen condition and panel type, and the one thing every buyer fears is a cracked or blemished panel they cannot see in a photograph of a switched-off screen.
Selling a TV in Yellowknife
Yellowknife is the territorial capital on the shore of a very large lake, built first on gold and now on diamond mining, and it is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Winter roads across the ice are a normal part of how the region is supplied.
Mine rotations and government postings both move households on fixed cycles, and the cost of freighting anything in or out means people sell up locally rather than ship. Good cold-weather gear is genuinely valuable here and moves fast.
The town is compact and everything is a short drive. Extreme cold is the real constraint for several months of the year — vehicles are left running and outdoor handovers need to be brief, so agree somewhere you can both step inside.
On anything with a battery, seals or hydraulics, ask how it was stored through winter. Extreme cold here is a different order from the south, and it kills batteries and perishes rubber outright.
Handing it over in Yellowknife
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What TVs are worth
What lifts the price
- OLED and higher-end panels, which hold value best
- A screen with no burn-in, dead pixels or backlight banding
What pulls it down
- Dead backlight zones showing as dark patches
- Missing or replaced remote, often proprietary
Working out what yours is worth
- Display a plain white and a plain grey full-screen image to reveal panel faults
- Note the exact model number from the rear panel
Getting it ready
- Power it on and display a plain white image, then a plain black one, to reveal dead pixels, backlight bleed and clouding.
- Locate the stand, feet, screws and remote. A television missing its stand or remote loses more value than the parts cost to replace.
Photograph
- Screen on, displaying a normal image, photographed straight on with the room lights off
- The full television including stand or feet as it will be handed over
Put in the description
- Screen size in inches and resolution, and the exact model number
- Whether the stand, feet, screws and remote are all included
Sells year round with a clear peak before Christmas and around major sporting tournaments. Large screens move faster than small ones because the saving against new is bigger.
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.
