Second-hand clothing in Burnaby typically sells for C$8 to C$1,150 (about $5 to $810). Natural fibres hold their money far better than synthetic blends, and a wool coat sells years after an equivalent polyester one has stopped being wanted. Anything still carrying its original tags moves at a real premium.
Buying clothing in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
Return postage on garments that do not fit swallows whatever was saved, and it is the commonest reason a distance sale goes wrong. Meeting somebody who can try the thing on there and then means the sale is finished when you part.
What to check in person
Look closely at the buttons, buckles and any lining, because replacing them costs more than most garments are worth. On wool and cashmere, hold it to the light for moth holes, which are easy to miss and spread once they are in a wardrobe.
Collecting it in Burnaby
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.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
Selling your clothing in Burnaby free
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
Say how often it has been worn and how it was stored, since buyers here care about that as much as about the label. Group several pieces of one size together, which is worth more to somebody than the same items listed apart. Coats and knitwear move from the first cold week onward; everything light moves in spring.
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.
