Used rugs in Moncton typically sell for C$38 to C$285 (about $27 to $200). Hand-knotted and machine-made rugs are completely different products, and identifying which you have is the whole valuation.
Selling a rug in Moncton
Moncton is the transport and distribution hub of the region and one of the country’s few genuinely bilingual cities, sitting on a river with a tidal bore that reverses its flow twice a day. It has grown steadily while much of the region has not.
Distribution and call-centre work brings people in on contracts, and the city’s growth means households are being set up here more often than they are being cleared — which makes it a better place to sell than the regional average.
On white goods, ask to see a full cycle run rather than just a power-on. Appliances change hands frequently in this city and ten minutes settles most questions for good.
Moncton, in New Brunswick, has around 80,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Saint John, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Moncton
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

What rugs are worth
What lifts the price
- Hand-knotted construction with visible knots on the back
- Natural wool and silk fibres over synthetics
What pulls it down
- Machine-made backing, which caps the value
- Pet staining and odour
Working out what yours is worth
- Turn it over — hand-knotted rugs show the pattern clearly on the back
- Part the pile in several places looking for moth larvae damage
Getting it ready
- Photograph in daylight. Artificial light shifts rug colours badly and colour disputes are the main reason a rug sale goes wrong.
- Check the fringes and edges for fraying, and look for moth damage on anything wool by parting the pile in a few places.
Photograph
- The whole rug flat on the floor, shot from above, entirely in frame
- The backing and the edge binding or fringe
Put in the description
- Exact dimensions in centimetres, measured not estimated
- Construction — hand-knotted, hand-tufted, flatweave or machine-made
Rolls tightly and posts more cheaply than people expect, though large wool rugs are genuinely heavy — weigh before quoting. Roll with the pile outward and never fold, which creases permanently.
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.

Common questions

Is the colour accurate in the photos?
Shoot in daylight and say what conditions you shot in. Colour is the single biggest source of disappointment on rugs, and you cannot accept a return.
