Selling model kits in Laval
Laval is a large suburban city immediately north of Montreal, with family housing, high car ownership and a predominantly French-speaking population. Household goods and children’s equipment make up most of what moves.
The July moving date that dominates Montreal reaches here too, though less intensely. Family households upgrading and downsizing produce a steadier supply through the rest of the year.
Suburban and built for driving, with generous parking, so collection is easier here than across the river in Montreal. Crossing to the island at peak times is the only real delay.
On garden furniture and anything stored outdoors, check for winter damage. Snow load and freeze-thaw split frames and perish fabric far faster than a few summers of use would.
Laval, in Quebec, has around 440,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Montreal, Quebec City and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Laval
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.

What model kits are worth

Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm every sprue is present and still bagged
- Check the decal sheet for yellowing
Getting it ready
- Open the box and check whether the sprues are still bagged and the decal sheet is present and unyellowed.

- The box art straight on, filling the frame
- The decal sheet flat, close enough to see whether it has yellowed
Put in the description
- Manufacturer, kit number and subject
- Whether sealed, opened but complete, started, or part-built
Manufacturer, subject and scale: “Tamiya 1:35 Sherman Tank, Sealed” or “Airfix Spitfire 1:72, Started, Decals Intact”. Scale is a hard filter for modellers, and the word sealed carries a real premium — so it must be true.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
