Used parkas in Montreal typically sell for C$47 to C$225 (about $34 to $160). Parkas are judged on the fur trim, the fill and the zip, and all three are expensive to put right.
Selling a parka 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 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.
Measure the outdoor staircase, not just the doorway. The spiral and half-turn stairs on many buildings here defeat sofas and mattresses that would fit anywhere else, and the seller may never have taken it out that way.
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 parkas are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine down or high-grade synthetic fill
- Fur or faux-fur trim present and intact
What pulls it down
- Missing or matted trim, which is costly to replace
- Faded shells on darker colours
Working out what yours is worth
- Shake it out and check the fill lofts evenly
- Comb the trim and photograph it
Getting it ready
- Read the label for the fill: down, feather or synthetic wadding, and the outer fabric.
- Test whether water still beads on the outer, and say honestly if the coating has washed off.
Photograph
- Full length on a hanger, zipped, hood up
- Cuffs, hem and any stain, tear or worn area
Put in the description
- Fill type and, for down, the fill power or down percentage
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither, and whether the coating still works
A short window from October to January, and prices drop sharply after. Storing until autumn is worth real money if you have missed it.
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.

List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself.

Is it still waterproof?
Run water over a sleeve and watch. Be honest if it beads no longer — reproofing is cheap and buyers accept it when told.
