Where to sell clothes and textiles in Edmonton

7 businesses in and around Edmonton that buy used clothes from the public — what each takes, and whether you are offered a purchase, a consignment or a loan.

Verified 2026-09-24 from each organization's own website. We are not affiliated with anyone listed here, nobody pays to be included, and we receive nothing if you sell to them.

How to tell what you have got

Before you call anyone, two minutes with the object settles most of it. None of this needs an expert — it needs a flashlight and a look at the back.

  • Teen and young-adult mall brands from the last 12 to 18 monthsIt buys all seasons year-round, takes walk-ins with no appointment, and requires items freshly laundered and free of odours. Sizes are adult only and the ranges are set per store: the London page gives girls 0 to 30 and up to 6X and guys XS to 4X and 28 to 44 inch waist, while the chain's national sell-to-us page gives girls 0 to 6X and guys 28 to 3X. Check your own store's page rather than assuming. No kids or youth sizes anywhere.
  • Premium outerwear and technical kit in near-new conditionBring it in June, not in October. VSP publishes its calendar: "Spring-Summer intake begins in December and Fall-Winter intake begins in June." By the time the weather turns, a shop is already full of parkas and will decline yours whatever the label.
  • Unworn items with the original tags still onKeep them separate and still tagged. Do not launder them or remove the tags to make them look tidy.

Rarely worth anything

Not a rule, and not a reason to bin something without asking. These are the things people most often expect to be worth money and find are not.

  • Mid-market and fast-fashion labels, at a luxury consignor
  • Clothing with stains, balling, repairs or odours
  • Household linens in bulk: towels, sheets, duvet covers, curtains
  • Single socks, single shoes, rags and fabric scraps
  • Underwear and worn-out basics
  • The whole-house pile, taken as a pile
Second-hand textiles are exempt from federal fibre-content labelling if labelled as second-hand Federal (Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1551, s. 9, under the Textile Labelling Act)

Section 9: "A prescribed consumer textile article that is clearly identified by means of a label as a second-hand article is exempt from the application of section 3 of the Act." The regulations do not define "second-hand", and the exemption is conditional on the article carrying that label. Relevant if you are reselling a quantity of clothing as a business rather than giving it away.

An appraisal opinion and a purchase offer are two different numbers - a dealer buying for resale must leave room for their own margin. The clinics are free to attend, so you can find out what something is before deciding where to sell it.

The dealOutright purchase, including whole-house lots.

Removal is part of the service, which matters if you are emptying a house on a deadline.
Where15230 Stony Plain Road, Edmonton, AB
Payment method and timing are not stated on their site. For an estate lot, ask for an itemised or at least category-by-category offer rather than a single number, and settle in advance who removes and pays for the items they do not want.

Consignment Loft Home Furnishings

Consignment Not stated — ask
BuysUsed furniture - living room, dining room and bedroom, Home decor, wall art, pillows and throws, Show-home furniture and accessories, Vintage and eclectic pieces
The dealConsignment, not a cash sale. They describe the process as "We take it - we store it - we sell it. You get paid!" - meaning you are paid after and only if the item sells, not on the day you drop it off. No commission split or percentage is published anywhere on their site.
Where16852 111 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB
No split, no pricing authority and no unsold-item policy is published. Before signing, get in writing what percentage you receive, who sets the price, how long they hold the item, whether the price is marked down over time, and what happens if it does not sell.

Edmonton Gold

Quote first Bring it to them
BuysCanadian gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion - bars, ingots, rounds and coins, Gold, silver and platinum jewellery, Collectible and mint coins, Old Canadian paper money, Dental gold and scrap precious metal, Sterling silverware, Luxury watches - Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Tiffany, Cartier, Breitling, Patek Philippe, IWC, Audemars Piguet
Won't takeNatural diamonds smaller than 0.4 carats - they state they purchase diamonds "larger than 0.4 carats", Diamonds below colour grade N, Silver with no recognized hallmark - "All silver items must display a recognized hallmark (such as 925, STER, or Sterling)"
The dealA fixed-premises precious metal buyer, not a pop-up. They evaluate with testing equipment and issue a quote before any sale, and state "No pressure to sell, ever. Our free quotes come with no obligation." A free no-obligation quote is worth asking for anywhere you sell gold, because it lets you compare against another buyer the same day. No prices, premiums or payout percentages are stated on the page.
WhereTwo Edmonton storefronts. Edmonton 780-758-7757, Edmonton West 780-244-4890, toll free 1-888-219-7001. Street addresses and hours are not published on their sell-to-us page - phone before travelling.
No public premises listed. We could not find a street address or phone on their site.
You must be "18 years of age or older" and produce "A valid government-issued photo ID" - driver's licence, passport or provincial ID card. Note their published buying rules on stones: they purchase natural diamonds only at colour N or better and larger than 0.4 carats, so a ring set with many small stones falls outside what they buy as diamonds. If your jewellery has meaningful gemstones, have it assessed as jewellery before selling it to a metal buyer.

Forever Red Soles

Consignment Bring it to them
BuysDesigner handbags, Designer wallets and accessories, Designer shoes, Designer jackets
Won't takeItems that are heavily worn, Items that are stained, Items with a strong odour
The dealConsignment on a sliding commission, with occasional outright buyouts. They state "The commission rate for each item is based on price, condition, and current popularity/demand" and that pricier, higher-demand items carry a lower commission rate. No actual percentages are published. For fast sellers they say "If your item is a high demand/popular seller we may offer a direct buy out" - that is an outright sale, paid immediately rather than after a buyer is found. On consigned items: "Once the consigned item has sold, the consignor is paid via email money transfer or cheque."
WhereOnline luxury consignment in the Edmonton area. Local consignors can arrange drop off in St. Albert; sellers outside the area ship at their own cost.
No public premises listed. We could not find a street address or phone on their site.
At the time of checking the page carried the notice "PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE ACCEPTING VERY LIMITED ITEMS AT THE MOMENT." Contact before making plans. Non-local consignors pay their own postage - they state "We do not cover shipping expenses" - so an unsold item can cost you money.

Pioneer Jewellery & Loan

Buys or lends Not stated — ask
BuysGold, silver and diamonds, Jewellery and watches, Electronics, phones, tablets, Gaming consoles, Computers and laptops, Musical instruments, Tools, Antiques and collectibles, Motorcycles and bicycles
The dealTwo different transactions under one roof. They lend against goods, and they also buy outright: the site says "If you'd rather sell than pawn, we can buy your items for cash." A pawn is a loan secured on your item - you keep a claim on it only if you repay and redeem within the agreed term, and if you do not the item is forfeited to the shop. An outright sale ends your claim on the item the moment you take the money. Establish which of the two you are being offered before you sign. No interest rate, fee schedule or loan term is published on their site.
Where3906 118 Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T5W 0Z9
The site does not publish loan charges, the redemption period or any ID requirement. Ask for the loan agreement in writing and read the redemption date and the total cost to repay before handing the item over.

West End Exchange

Buys or lends Not stated — ask
BuysJewellery and gold, Electronics, Smartphones and tablets, Computers, Sporting goods, Musical instruments, Watches, Tools, Artwork, antiques and collectibles
The dealPrimarily a collateral lender. The site describes bringing an item in, having it assessed and being offered a short-term loan against it, and states the loan window plainly: "You have 30 days (plus 7 days grace) to return for your items." That is a pawn loan, not a sale - if you do not return and repay in full inside that window the item is forfeited and goes to their sales floor. They will also purchase items outright if you do not want the item back.
Where15241 Stony Plain Road, Edmonton, AB T5P 3Y4
30 days plus a 7-day grace period is the only loan term published. No interest rate, storage charge or service fee is stated anywhere on the site, so ask for the total repayment figure in writing before you agree.
Visit their site →780-481-3857
We could not verify this city’s municipal rules for second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers from an official source, so we state none. Check with the City or the province before relying on anything you read about them elsewhere.
