Selling militaria in Quebec City
Quebec City is French-speaking, historic and has severe winters with heavy snowfall. The old quarters have narrow streets and steep access, and the local market runs largely in French, which is worth knowing before you list.
Winter sports equipment follows a sharp seasonal cycle, appearing in spring and selling through autumn. Household turnover is slower than in the larger Canadian cities because more people stay put.
Access in the older parts of the city is genuinely awkward for a vehicle, and snow makes it harder for several months. A listing written in French will reach considerably more local buyers than one written only in English.
Quebec City, in Quebec, has around 550,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Montreal, Laval and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Quebec City
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
What militaria is worth
What lifts the price
- Original medals with correct naming and ribbons
- Insignia and badges with period construction
What pulls it down
- Renamed or re-ribboned medals
- Deactivated items without correct certification
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph any naming, stamps or maker marks
- Research the pattern and period before describing it
Getting it ready
- For anything deactivated, find the certificate and check it meets the current specification, since older deactivations are no longer accepted in many jurisdictions.
- Do not clean, polish or re-blue anything. Original finish and honest patina are most of the value to a collector.
Photograph
- Any deactivation certificate or paperwork
- Every dent, repair, replacement part or area of wear
Put in the description
- Whether original, a period reproduction, or a modern copy
- Any legal paperwork, and any restriction you are aware of on sale or carriage
Check the legal position before agreeing any carriage, and sell only to adults where age restrictions apply. For anything restricted, a documented in-person handover to an eligible buyer is the safer route.
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.
