Suburban and built for driving, with generous parking, so collection is easier here than across the river in Montreal. Crossing to the island at peak times is the only real delay.
On garden furniture and anything stored outdoors, check for winter damage. Snow load and freeze-thaw split frames and perish fabric far faster than a few summers of use would.
Laval, in Quebec, has around 440,000 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, Quebec City and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What pearl necklaces are worth
What lifts the price
- Even matching in size, colour and lustre
- Original clasp in precious metal
What pulls it down
- Imitation pearls, which are worth very little
- Dull or peeling nacre
Working out what yours is worth
- Rub two pearls gently together — real ones feel slightly gritty, imitations glassy
- Check the clasp for precious metal hallmarks
Getting it ready
- Rub a pearl gently against a tooth edge. Real and cultured pearls feel faintly gritty; imitation pearls feel glassy smooth. Report what you observe.
- Measure the length and the pearl diameter, and photograph the clasp and any hallmark on it.
Photograph
- The necklace laid out in a curve, whole, on a plain background
- The clasp and any hallmark on it
Put in the description
- Length in inches or centimetres, and pearl diameter in millimetres
- Whether the strand is knotted between pearls
Type, length and pearl size: “Cultured Pearl Necklace, 18in, 7mm, Silver Clasp”. Length and pearl diameter are the searches. Say cultured, freshwater, or imitation — and if you are not certain which, say that instead of guessing.
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.
