Where to sell clothes and textiles in Québec City

5 businesses in and around Québec City 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.

5 places in Québec City that take clothes

Antiquités de l'Île (Ferme au goût d'autrefois)

Quote first Not stated — ask
Buysantique furniture and century-old accessories, wooden chests and trunks, metal toys, marine and military items, gold and silver jewellery, broken or intact, advertising signs and old advertisements, vintage garage items such as oil cans, paintings and artworks, antique musical instruments, used vinyl records
The dealThey buy outright, under the heading 'ACHETONS VOS ANTIQUITÉS et VINYLES USAGÉS', and publish a long list of what they actively look for. They state they are interested in your offers but publish nothing about how payment is made, whether they travel to you, or any percentage of resale value. Treat it as: send photos and a description, or phone, and get an offer.
Where2759, Chemin Royal, Sainte-Famille, Île d'Orléans, QC G0A 3P0
Contact them before driving out to the island with a carload — nothing on their site commits them to buying any particular item, and they publish no payment terms. Email contact is augoutdautrefois@videotron.ca.

Bijouterie Langlois

Buys outright Bring it to them
Buys10k, 14k, 18k and 22k gold jewellery, broken and worn gold chains, ring mounts, gold watches, earrings, gold objects and coins
Won't takeitems you do not own, sales by minors
The dealOutright purchase in the shop. Their published process: bring the piece in, it is appraised on the spot, you present photo ID such as a driver's licence or health insurance card, and they give you a cheque — payment is stated as a cheque, not cash. Purity is confirmed by chemical and electronic testing. Any precious stones set in the piece are given back to you. Free estimate. No payout percentage is published.
Where909, boul. Pierre-Bertrand sud, suite 210, Québec
Their own page states a 24-hour right of withdrawal on a gold sale, and that you must be of age and the owner of the item. Payment is by cheque, so do not arrive expecting to leave with cash. They also state that gold is priced on quantity and quality of metal only and that the look of the piece is never a factor, because it is destined to be remelted — so the craftsmanship, brand or antique value of a signed or collectible piece is not reflected in what is paid here.

Capitale Or / Collection Capitale

Buys outright Bring it to them
Buysgold jewellery, 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k, broken jewellery, gold and silver coins, collection coins, gold and silver bars and ingots, sterling silver items, dental and industrial gold
The dealOutright purchase with payment on the spot — 'évaluation, service discret et paiement sur-le-champ'. Valuation is based on the live gold and silver price ('cours de l'or et de l'argent en temps réel'). Metal purity is tested non-destructively with a Vanta GX analyser and weighed on an A&D FX-300iNC balance accurate to a thousandth of a gram; their site states the equipment is certified by Mesures Canada. No payout percentage is published.
Where1411, chemin Ste-Foy, Québec, QC G1S 2N7
Appointments are encouraged and hours are short — Monday 12:00-17:00, Tuesday to Thursday 9:00-17:00, Friday 9:00-14:00, closed Saturday and Sunday. A weekend trip is a wasted one. The owner states membership of the Société Numismatique de Québec and the Royal Canadian Numismatic Association; those are trade memberships, not a licence and not a guarantee of price.

Instant Comptant

Buys outright Bring it to them
Buysjewellery and gold, home equipment, tools, music, films and series, phones and portable electronics, leisure, art and collections, photo and video equipment, home automation and security, televisions and audio, seasonal and sports gear, automotive equipment, vehicles, motors and parts, video games and accessories, musical instruments, orthopaedic and health products, computer equipment, commercial and office equipment, decorative and gaming weapons
The dealOUTRIGHT SALE, NOT A PAWN LOAN. The words 'prêt' and 'gage' do not appear anywhere on their site; they describe themselves as an 'intermédiaire entre le vendeur et l'acheteur'. Their published process, verbatim: you bring the item to the shop, they evaluate it, they compare its market value to offer the right price, they make a purchase offer, and if you accept 'nous procédons à la signature d'un contrat de vente'. They then state 'vous aurez 30 jours pour venir récupérer votre objet', subject to conditions given in store only. Ownership therefore passes at signature and the repurchase price is not published. Free in-store evaluation. No payout percentage or rate is stated anywhere on the site.
Where1870, Avenue D'Estimauville, Québec, QC G1J 2G5 (Beauport branch)
Directories list this chain under 'prêteurs sur gages', but its own website describes only buying and selling, never lending. The 30-day buy-back resembles pawning in effect while being legally a sale — you are not a borrower, and the amount you would pay to get the item back is not published, so ask for that figure before you sign. Their 'À propos' page states they collaborate with police on all acquisitions, identify items by serial number and photographs, and ask sellers for information and ID.

La Planque Jeux Vidéo

Store credit, not cash Bring it to them
Buysvideo games, consoles, accessories, video game collectibles, retro and vintage games
Won't takeitems that are not clean and functional
The dealThey state: 'Nous prenons les jeux, consoles, accessoires et objets de collection de jeux vidéo contre des crédits d'échange ou de l'argent dans les cas des articles rétro.' So the default is STORE CREDIT, and cash is offered only for retro items. The amount depends on resale value, the condition of the items and their current stock. Items must be clean and functional. They do not give estimates over the phone — you send photos or a detailed list by Messenger or email, and once the items are handed over they take 24 to 48 hours to examine and test them. No percentage is published.
Where249, rue Saint-Vallier Est, Québec, QC G1K 3P4
Do not assume cash: their own stated policy is exchange credit, with money only for retro articles. Do not phone for a valuation either — they state they do not quote by phone and require photos or a list sent by Messenger or email first. Expect a 24 to 48 hour wait after drop-off while items are tested. Email contact@laplanquejeuxvideo.ca.

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.
