Selling a violin in Longueuil
Lease turnover in this province is concentrated around the traditional summer moving date, so household goods appear in enormous volume in the weeks either side of it and far more thinly the rest of the year.
The metro terminus is the obvious meeting point for anything portable and saves a bridge crossing entirely. For furniture, the bridges are the bottleneck rather than the distance, so plan around rush hour.
Around the summer moving date the market moves extremely fast. If you are buying then, see the item rather than committing on photographs — that week is when the least checking gets done all year.
Longueuil, in Quebec, has around 255,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Longueuil
