Second-hand toys & games in Montreal typically sells for C$4 to C$755 (about $3 to $540). Recognised brands hold their money because the parts interchange and collectors already know what they are looking at, while unbranded equivalents hold almost none. Character licences swing sharply with whatever children are currently watching.

Buying toys & games 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 these on within a few streets as children move past a stage, and much of it never reaches a wider audience at all. Supply arrives in waves after birthdays and Christmas, so being close by matters more than searching hard.
What to check in person
Open a board game and check the counters, cards and dice against the rules sheet rather than trusting a description. Smell soft toys for damp or smoke, and pull gently at eyes and stitching on anything meant for a small child.
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 toys & games 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.
Give the set number and the age range, since those are what buyers actually search for. Wash or wipe everything down beforehand and photograph it in daylight, because grubby plastic sells for a fraction of what clean plastic does. Builds from October to Christmas, then again in a quieter second-hand wave in January.
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.
