Used wall mirrors in Canada typically sell for C$28 to C$225 (about $20 to $160). Mirrors are fragile and awkward to post, so most sell locally, and the frame is usually worth more than the glass.

Selling a wall mirror 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 Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the edges of the glass for desilvering
- Inspect the frame for splits, especially at the corners
Getting it ready
- Clean the glass and inspect the edges and back for black spotting, which is silvering breaking down and cannot be repaired.
- Look at the frame corners, which is where old gilt and composite frames chip and separate.
Photograph
- The mirror hung or propped, straight on, shot slightly off-axis so you are not in the reflection
- The frame corner detail and any moulding
- The edges of the glass and any spotting, chip or frame damage
Put in the description
- Frame material and finish
- Approximate weight and the hanging method — wire, D-rings, cleat or brackets
- The condition of the silvering, described honestly, including any spotting
Style, shape and size: “Large Gilt Overmantel Mirror, 120x90cm” or “Round Black Framed Wall Mirror, 80cm”. Dimensions are essential and shape is a real search. If it is genuinely antique, say so with the evidence; if it is a modern reproduction, say that instead.
Collection is far safer. If you must post, that means a purpose-made mirror box, corner protectors and a carrier that accepts glass — many do not, and a mirror in an ordinary box will not survive.
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 wall mirror 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.
How does it hang?
Photograph the back. Cleats, D-rings and wire all need different wall preparation, and buyers who have hung a heavy mirror before will ask.
Are old mirrors worth anything?
The frame usually carries the value. Antique and design frames sell well, while the glass itself is rarely worth much unless it is period.
Should I post a mirror?
Generally no. Glass is high risk in transit, and most mirrors sell better as local collection.
