What sells second hand in St Johns

St John’s is the oldest European-founded city in North America, built on steep streets above a narrow harbour, and its economy has run on fishing and then on offshore oil. The weather here is genuinely severe — fog, wind and rain in quantities that shape how everything is stored.

Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once. The row-house stock downtown turns over with genuinely old contents attached.

Four things that move here, with the guide range each sits in:

Item	Typical range (CAD)
Winter Coat	C$47 to C$225 (about $34 to $160)
Wellington Boots	C$23 to C$94 (about $16 to $67)
Fishing Rod	C$38 to C$285 (about $27 to $200)
Sofa	C$115 to C$755 (about $81 to $540)

Meeting up and handover in St Johns

The downtown streets are steep and narrow and parking on them is limited, so for anything large agree access before the day. Weather closes roads here more often than in most of the country, so agree a fallback.

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well.

Condition is seller-described against five grades and nobody inspects it for you — what each grade means.

What to check before you buy in St Johns

Damp and salt air are the constants here. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting closely — fog does more damage in this city than either cold or sun.

Frequently asked questions

What can I buy second hand in St Johns?

Anything people own and no longer want — winter coats, wellington boots, fishing rods and sofas all come up. Listings are posted by private sellers in and around the city, and you arrange collection or delivery between you.

Is it free to list something in St Johns?

Yes — no listing fee, no commission, no buyer-side fee. What you agree is what you keep.

How do I arrange collection in St Johns?

You agree it directly with the other person in the messages — WishThrift does not ship, insure or hold funds, so the handover is between the two of you. Meet somewhere public where you can, and if the seller turns out to be over towards Toronto rather than in St Johns itself, work the journey into what you offer.
