Used sarees in Montreal typically sell for C$28 to C$285 (about $20 to $200). Sarees range from everyday cotton to heavily worked silk, and the fabric and weave do almost all of the pricing.
Selling a saree 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 July moving week produces a concentration of second-hand furniture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Canada. Prices in the days either side of it are the lowest of the year, and the choice is at its widest.
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.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a saree in Montreal?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. 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.
Has it been worn or dry cleaned?
Be straightforward. Sarees worn once for an occasion and properly stored are highly sought after, and saying so honestly helps the price.
