Used suits in Montreal typically sell for C$57 to C$285 (about $40 to $200). Suits sell modestly unless the cloth and construction are genuinely good, which most buyers can assess from a few details.
Selling a suit 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.
What suits are worth
What lifts the price
- Canvassed rather than fused construction
- Recognised cloth mills named on the label
What pulls it down
- Fused construction that has bubbled at the lapel
- Very dated cuts and lapel widths
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold it to the light to check for moth holes
- Measure the chest, shoulder and inseam rather than trusting the label
Getting it ready
- Measure the jacket shoulders, chest and length, and the trouser waist, inside leg and rise.
- Inspect the lining, the crotch seam and the seat, and have it dry-cleaned if it looks tired.

Common questions
Where can I sell a suit 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.
Is the waistcoat included?
Say two-piece or three-piece plainly. A three-piece is worth meaningfully more and buyers search for it specifically.
