Selling a suit in Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 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. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver
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 suits are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised cloth mills named on the label
- Matching trousers with unworn seat and hems
What pulls it down
- Shine on the seat and elbows from wear
- Moth damage, common on stored wool
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel whether there is a floating canvas layer
- 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.
- Check whether the trousers have been taken up or let out, and whether there is turn-up allowance left.

Put in the description
- Jacket shoulders, chest, sleeve and length
- Trouser waist, inside leg and rise, and whether hemmed or with turn-up allowance
Fabric, colour and both sizes: “Wool Two Piece Suit, Charcoal, Jacket 40R Trousers W34 L31”. Give both sizes in the title, because a suit that fits the chest but not the leg is no use. Say two-piece or three-piece explicitly.
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.
