Second-hand furniture in Fredericton typically sells for C$19 to C$1,050 (about $13 to $740). Solid wood beats veneer or board, and whether it comes apart matters just as much. A piece that dismantles is worth more locally because far more buyers can actually get it home.
Buying furniture in Fredericton
Fredericton is the provincial capital, a university and government town on the river with a good deal of preserved architecture and a strong local arts and craft scene. It is small, walkable and dominated by two institutions rather than an industry.
Weight and awkwardness price almost everything out of the postal system entirely, which hands the advantage to whoever lives close by. Sellers usually want the space back more than they want the money, and that shows in what they will accept. Locally, desks are one of the few things that move reliably enough to be worth listing on their own.
What to check in person
Smell it before anything else, since smoke and damp live in upholstery and neither comes out. Press down across a cushion to find collapsed foam, and open and shut every door to see whether it still hangs square.
Collecting it in Fredericton
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
The downtown is compact and walkable and the river trail system is genuinely useful. Driving and parking are both easy, so anything large is straightforward.

Photograph it in daylight against a clear wall, because clutter around a piece is what makes good furniture look tired. Name the material honestly, note every mark and scratch, and say whether the fixings and instructions are still with it. Moves hardest at the end of a tenancy and through the summer moving season.
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.
