Second-hand baby & kids in Montreal typically sells for C$6 to C$755 (about $4 to $540). The makers with a following hold their money remarkably well, and a sought-after pram can return most of its cost after two years. Fabric condition governs the rest, since staining is what buyers refuse over even when everything works.
Buying baby & kids in Montreal
Montreal has the most distinctive moving culture in the country: a very large share of leases end on the same day at the start of July, and for about a week the entire city changes address at once. The second-hand market is built around that single date.
Families pass this on within a few streets more than any other category, often before it is ever listed publicly. Supply arrives in waves as each stage is finished with, so timing and being nearby matter more than hunting for the lowest price.
What to check in person
Ask directly whether a car seat has ever been in a collision, because one that has must not be used again however sound it looks, and no marketplace can verify the answer. Work the recline and every buckle, and confirm the instructions are with it.
Collecting it in Montreal
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The outdoor staircases that front so many buildings here are narrow, steep and often spiral, and they defeat more furniture than anything else. Establish the stairs before the price, and remember that winter makes all of it considerably harder.
Selling your baby & kids in Montreal free
The July moving week produces a concentration of second-hand furniture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Canada. Prices in the days either side of it are the lowest of the year, and the choice is at its widest.
Wash every removable cover and let it dry properly before anybody sees it, because parents buy on how clean a thing looks above almost anything else. Photograph the underside and the seat back, which is where buyers expect a seller to be hiding wear. Steady all year; second-hand supply rises as each cohort outgrows a stage.
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.
