Ads for Snow Blowers Increase on Used.ca Sites across Canada as Canadians Brace for the Full Force of Winter

Used.ca is seeing a spike in snow blower ads this month. Snow blowers are one of the most popular winter items and when the ads are posted they often lead to a flurry of calls from potential buyers who want a find great deal on a must-have item for Canadian homeowners.

Since September, ads for snow blowers on UsedEverywhere’s network of Canadian sites have tripled with close to 500 used snow blowers up for grabs on any given day in December.  Ads for winter items traditionally peak in January with over 3200 winter related ads last January, but December is the biggest month for snow blowers.

“We see a tremendous demand for snow blowers every year in December,” says Tish Hill General Manager of Used.ca. “When the snow starts to fall people start thinking about how they will keep their driveways clear. Snow blowers are very expensive new but you can find good working used snow blowers at huge discounts on our sites.”

Those who use winter snow removal services or head south during the cold months are turning to UsedEverywhere sites to unload their sought-after snow blowers and earn some extra money in the process.  Canadians are looking to purchase used snow blowers that not only save them money, but also save their backs from the pain of shoveling heavy snow.

Brand new snow blowers can cost up to $2,500 while many used snow blowers are available on Used.ca sites for less than $200. Prices range from $80 and up depending on the age of the snow blower and its features.
