Brand-name Canadian toy overstock — LEGO, Hot Wheels, Barbie, and major toy brands are perennially high-demand on all resale platforms. 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.

Canadian buyers on Kijiji actively seek toys for several reasons:
- Value vs retail: Buyers know resellers offer 30–40% off retail prices — and for toys, that saving matters.

- Category depth: Kijiji has a large active audience specifically for toys — LEGO, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Nerf, Mattel, Hasbro, Melissa & Doug, and Fisher-Price are among the most-searched brands on Kijiji.

Pro Tips for Toys on Kijiji
- Include your city name in the listing title for maximum local visibility (e.g., "Nike Shoes Size 10 — Toronto")
- Respond within 1–2 hours to buyer messages — 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) — more photos reduce no-shows significantly
- Price with 10–15% negotiation room built in — Kijiji buyers almost always make an offer
- "Sealed/never opened" in your listing title commands top prices for toys. Include the age range (e.g., "Ages 4–8") and specific set name for LEGO. Toy buyers search very specifically, so match the official product name exactly.
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 — instant payment, no fees, no wait
A Pro Box ($149) with a good mix of toys 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 toys sales.
Seasonal Strategy for Toys
November–December is by far the strongest toy-selling period. Order boxes by November 1 to have toy inventory ready for peak holiday demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resell toys on Kijiji with no experience?
Yes — 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 toys on Kijiji?
Most AmazeDeals resellers who focus on toys on Kijiji earn 2x–4x their box cost over 2–4 weeks of selling. For a Pro Box ($149), that translates to $300–$600 in gross revenue. Net profit after box cost and no platform fees is typically $150–$450 per box.
Do I need to test toys items before listing?
For toys, 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 toys items sell eventually at the right price — it's simply a matter of finding the right buyer.
