Used designer bags in Saint John typically sell for C$150 to C$1,700 (about $110 to $1,200). Designer bags hold value better than almost any other clothing item, but the range is wide because condition and completeness are scrutinised closely.
Selling a designer bag 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.
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.
Fog here is a summer constant, not an occasional thing. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting for corrosion, particularly on anything kept near the harbour.
Saint John, in New Brunswick, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saint John
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Brand, model and material: “Michael Kors Selma Medium Saffiano Leather Satchel, Black”. The model name is how buyers search. Only use the brand name if you are certain of it. If you cannot confirm the bag is genuine, do not imply that it is — describe it factually and say what documentation you do and do not have.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
