Used varsity jackets in Gatineau typically sell for C$47 to C$210 (about $34 to $150). Varsity jackets sell on materials and patches, so say whether the body is real wool and the sleeves real leather — the difference from a synthetic version is large.
Selling a varsity jacket in Gatineau
Federal postings and transfers move households on a schedule, and the hills behind the city mean cross-country and downhill equipment turns over on a genuine winter season rather than an occasional one.
The bridges are the constraint here rather than the distance, so agree which side of the river you are meeting on and avoid the crossings at rush hour. Otherwise driving and parking are both easier than across the water.
On winter sports equipment, check the bindings and the boot soles rather than the topsheet. Those are the parts with a service life, and a shop will refuse to work on gear past a certain age regardless of condition.
Gatineau, in Quebec, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Gatineau

Has the ribbing stretched?
Stretch a cuff and let go. Perished ribbing is the classic fault and it makes the jacket look tired.
