Used vinyl records in Windsor typically sell for C$6 to C$75 (about $4 to $54). Records span a huge range because two copies of the same album can be worth very different amounts depending on pressing and condition.
Selling vinyl records in Windsor
Windsor sits directly across the river from a much larger American city and is the country’s automotive town, with assembly and tooling work that has run for generations. It is the southernmost city in the country, which makes its summers genuinely hot by Canadian standards.
Driving is the norm and the city is flat and easy to move around. The riverfront is the obvious landmark; border traffic can back up the approaches to the crossings, so avoid arranging anything near them at peak times.
On automotive tools and parts, ask whether they came from plant work or a home garage. Both are everywhere here, and plant-grade equipment is worth more but has also worked considerably harder.
Windsor, in Ontario, has around 230,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Windsor
