Used vinyl box sets in Canada typically sell for C$38 to C$225 (about $27 to $160). Box sets are valued on completeness and whether the outer box has survived, since it protects everything inside.

Selling a vinyl box set in Canada
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.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Count every disc and insert against the listing
- Photograph the outer box on all sides
Getting it ready
- Check every record in the set individually under a bright light, and grade the worst one honestly.
- Confirm the set is complete against the track listing and any list of contents printed on the box.
Photograph
- The complete set laid out, box and all contents visible
- The box exterior, including corners and spine
- All inserts, booklets and posters, plus any split, ring wear or scratch
Put in the description
- How many discs, and the exact contents including inserts
- Grading of the vinyl and of the sleeves and box, stated separately
- Whether it is an original pressing or a reissue
Artist, title, format and completeness: “[Artist] [Title], 6LP Box Set, Complete with Booklet, 1978”. Disc count and the word complete are the searches. Include the catalogue number, which is how serious collectors identify a specific pressing.
Heavy and easily damaged. Use a proper record mailer sized for the set, with stiffeners, and remove the records from the box if that protects the box corners better in transit.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$226 a buyer pays is the C$226 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a vinyl box set in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.
Is it an original pressing?
Give the catalogue number and any matrix runout markings and let the buyer verify. Reissues are perfectly saleable but must not be described as originals.
What makes a vinyl box set valuable?
Completeness and the condition of the outer box. Missing booklets or posters reduce value sharply.
Are reissue box sets worth anything?
Some are, particularly limited numbered pressings. Describe accurately which pressing you have.
