Second-hand kids’ clothing in Saint John typically sells for C$9 to C$66 (about $7 to $47). Age range and bundle size decide most of it, and condition decides the rest. A full bundle of one size sells faster and for more in total than the same items priced separately.
Buying kids’ clothing in Saint John
Saint John is an industrial port on a bay with the highest tides in the world, dominated by a refinery and shipping, with a preserved nineteenth-century core that survived the city’s decline. Fog here is a defining feature of the summer rather than an occasional inconvenience.
Bundles are heavy and cheap, so postage swallows the saving that made them worth buying at all. Collecting a boxful in one trip is what keeps the price low, and it is why this trade almost never travels far.
What to check in person
Go through a bundle piece by piece rather than accepting a count, since the bottom of a bag is where the tired items sit. Hold pale colours to the light for the food and grass marks that photographs never pick up.
Collecting it in Saint John
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 uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.

Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
Wash and fold everything before it is seen, since a neatly presented bundle sells for noticeably more than the same clothes in a bag. Separate by size rather than mixing ages, because a parent is shopping for one child at one stage. Moves in waves as each school year turns over, with a clear lift before September.
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.
