Second-hand vinyl & CDs in Quebec City typically sells for C$6 to C$565 (about $4 to $405). Coloured and limited pressings command a premium that outlasts the record’s own popularity, while common issues of a hugely successful album are worth very little however clean. A sealed copy is a category of its own.
Buying vinyl & CDs in Quebec City
Quebec City is French-speaking, historic and has severe winters with heavy snowfall. The old quarters have narrow streets and steep access, and the local market runs largely in French, which is worth knowing before you list.
A collection being cleared moves as a lot and goes to whoever can carry it away, since boxing and sending hundreds of records is barely worth doing. Turning up with a car is most of what secures the good ones.
What to check in person
Check the inner sleeve, the inserts and any poster are actually present, since those carry a real share of the value on a collectable title. Look at the labels for spindle marks and water staining, and confirm the disc matches the sleeve.
Collecting it in Quebec City
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
Access in the older parts of the city is genuinely awkward for a vehicle, and snow makes it harder for several months. A listing written in French will reach considerably more local buyers than one written only in English.

Grade the disc and the sleeve separately and say which grading you are using, because a single word covering both tells a buyer nothing. Photograph the label and the run-out groove if the pressing matters. Steady all year, with a clear lift around Record Store Day and again before Christmas.
