Selling Chelsea boots 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.
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.
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.
Montreal, in Quebec, has around 1.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Montreal
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
What Chelsea boots are worth
What lifts the price
- Elastic gussets still holding their tension
- Welted construction that can be resoled
What pulls it down
- Stretched or perished gussets, which cannot be tightened
- Cemented soles on cheaper pairs
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the vamp and look for cracking
- Check the pull tab is intact and firmly attached
Getting it ready
- Pull each gusset gently and check it returns. Perished elastic is the standard failure and must be disclosed.
- Check the pull tabs at the back, which tear away with years of use and are awkward to repair.

Common questions
Where can I sell Chelsea boots in Montreal?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. 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.
Have they been resoled?
Say so if they have. On a quality boot it extends the life considerably and buyers treat it as a positive when they are told rather than left to spot it.
