Second-hand kids’ clothing in Yellowknife typically sells for C$9 to C$66 (about $7 to $47). The very small sizes turn over fastest because babies pass through them in weeks, leaving barely worn stock. School uniform answers to term dates instead, and the same items are worth noticeably more in August than in November.
Buying kids’ clothing in Yellowknife
Yellowknife is the territorial capital on the shore of a very large lake, built first on gold and now on diamond mining, and it is one of the best places in the world to see the aurora. Winter roads across the ice are a normal part of how the region is supplied.
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 Yellowknife
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 town is compact and everything is a short drive. Extreme cold is the real constraint for several months of the year — vehicles are left running and outdoor handovers need to be brief, so agree somewhere you can both step inside.

Sell it as a bundle by age and say how many pieces are included and what they are. Photograph everything laid out together, and be honest about any marks, because parents buying second hand expect wear and price it in. 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.
