How to Make Money Reselling Office Supplies in Canada on Kijiji (2026 Guide)

Desk accessories, stationery, and office productivity items from retail overstock β€” growing demand from remote workers and home office setups. Combined with Kijiji's buyer network reaching local buyers in your city and region, this is one of the most accessible and profitable reselling combinations in Canada in 2026.

Why Office Supplies Sells Well on Kijiji

Canadian buyers on Kijiji actively seek office supplies for several reasons:

  • Value vs retail: Buyers know resellers offer 30–40% off retail prices β€” and for office supplies, that saving matters.
  • Zero shipping cost: Local pickup means no shipping wait β€” buyers prefer same-day pickup for large or time-sensitive items.
  • Category depth: Kijiji has a large active audience specifically for office supplies β€” Staples, Avery, Moleskine, Post-it, Faber-Castell, Logitech, and Belkin are among the most-searched brands on Kijiji.

AmazeDeals mystery boxes are sourced from Canadian retail return centres β€” Amazon Canada. When a box contains office supplies items, you can expect:

  • Item types: desk organizers, notebooks, pens sets, cable management accessories, laptop stands, mouse pads, sticky notes, and file storage

  • Price range: $5–$50 per item per item at typical resale prices

  3. Research prices: Search Kijiji for similar items in your area to understand the current market price.
  4. Photograph: Take clean, well-lit photos. White background for best results. 3–5 photos per item minimum.
  5. List or go live: Write clear titles with brand + item type + condition. Price at 45–60% of retail value.

Target price: 45–60% of retail value

Platform fee: 0% (free to list)

Since Kijiji charges no selling fees, 100% of your sale price is yours. This gives you more flexibility to price competitively while maintaining strong margins.

Item Type Typical Retail Price Target Kijiji Price Est. Net Margin
Entry-level office supplies items $15–$30 $10–$22 60–70%
Mid-range office supplies items $30–$60 $20–$45 62–75%

Pro Tips for Office Supplies on Kijiji

  • Include your city name in the listing title for maximum local visibility (e.g., "Nike Shoes Size 10 β€” Toronto")
  • Respond within 1–2 hours to buyer messages β€” Kijiji buyers message multiple sellers and the fastest responder wins
  • Set your listing to "pickup only" to filter out time-wasters who aren't local
  • Use Kijiji's free photo limit (12 photos) β€” more photos reduce no-shows significantly
  • Price with 10–15% negotiation room built in β€” Kijiji buyers almost always make an offer
  • Bundle office supplies into "home office starter kits" or "desk organization sets." Individual small items under $8 rarely justify a Kijiji listing β€” combining 8–12 items into a lot listing converts better and saves your listing time.

What to Expect: Revenue and Timeline

Best for: Bulky items (appliances, furniture, tools), same-day cash sales, zero-fee transactions, items that ship poorly

Typical sale speed: Often within 24–72 hours for in-demand items at fair pricing

Payout: Cash on pickup β€” instant payment, no fees, no wait

A Pro Box ($199) with a good mix of office supplies items typically generates $200–$350 from Kijiji alone, with remaining categories sold on other platforms. Most resellers report recovering their full box cost within the first 5–8 office supplies sales.

Seasonal Strategy for Office Supplies

Back-to-school (August–September) and January (New Year's productivity) drive peak demand. Remote work culture has created consistent year-round demand for home office items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I resell office supplies on Kijiji with no experience?
Yes β€” the majority of AmazeDeals resellers had no prior experience when they started. Kijiji is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms because listings are simple to create and local cash sales require no shipping knowledge. Start by listing your 3–5 best items from your first box, learn how buyers respond, and scale from there.

How much can I make selling office supplies on Kijiji?
We do not track what resellers resell for, so we will not quote you a return on office supplies on Kijiji. What is fixed: a Pro Box is $199, and the item count and the listed retail of the contents are stated on the product page. Price your own items from completed listings on your platform, and subtract that platform's fees before you call it profit.

Do I need to test office supplies items before listing?
For office supplies, inspect each item for defects and describe the condition accurately. Honest condition descriptions reduce disputes and protect your seller reputation.

What happens if an item doesn't sell on Kijiji?
If an item hasn't sold within 2 weeks, try: (1) reducing the price by 15–20%, (2) relisting with new photos, or (3) cross-posting to a different platform. As a last resort, bundle slow-moving items into a lot listing. Most office supplies items sell eventually at the right price β€” it's simply a matter of finding the right buyer.
