Where to sell clothes and textiles in Winnipeg

6 businesses in and around Winnipeg 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.

6 places in Winnipeg that take clothes

Broadway Pawn & Sales

Buys or lends Bring it to them
BuysGold, silver and diamonds, Watches, vintage to new, Jewellery
The dealThe site states plainly: 'We Buy | We Pawn | We Sell', and separately 'We buy and sell gold!!!'. Buying outright is a straight sale - money for the item, item gone. Pawning is a loan against the item, which you must repay to get it back. The categories explicitly named as bought are gold, silver, diamonds and watches. The site also describes itself as 'a music store, a jewelery store, a furniture store, a tool store, a game and movie store and more', so it is worth asking about instruments, tools, furniture and games - but that line describes what they stock, not a published buying list. No loan terms, rates or redemption period are published. Appraisal is in-store only: the site states 'all customers must come to our shop to get the appraisal'. They also state 'We have cheque cashing!!!', which is a separate financial service.
Where612 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0W8
Be clear which transaction you are entering. A pawn loan is secured borrowing and the item is forfeited if it is not redeemed; a sale is final. Manitoba's Personal Property Security Act excludes pledgor-and-pawnbroker transactions from the Part 6 default protections that apply to other secured credit. Neither the interest rate nor the redemption period is published on the site, so get both in writing before you sign. Because appraisal is in-store only, budget for the trip, and take photo ID.

Canada Gold - Winnipeg

Buys outright Bring it to them
BuysGold, silver and platinum jewellery, Canadian gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion, International bullion, Dental gold and other precious metal items, Scrap gold, silver and platinum in any form
The dealOutright purchase. Their sell-to-us page states that specialists will 'evaluate your items in front of you and provide a free, no-obligation offer based on current market prices', that 'No appointments required', and that 'Almost all payouts are completed the same day'. The evaluation happening in front of you is the useful part - you can ask for the weight and the purity reading as they take them. The site does not state what percentage of spot price they pay, and that figure should not be assumed from anywhere else; ask for the offer expressed as a percentage of spot before you accept, and write down the weight and purity you were quoted. Part of a national chain. Store hours: Monday to Friday 9:30am-6:00pm, Saturday and Sunday 10:00am-5:00pm.
Where635 Corydon Ave, Winnipeg, MB R3M 0W3
Their site states you must be '18 years of age or older' and provide 'A valid government-issued photo ID' to complete a transaction - do not make the trip without it. Precious metal is bought on weight and purity, so an item whose value lies in its craftsmanship, maker, brand or age is being valued on the wrong axis here; have anything of that kind assessed by a jeweller or collector first, because a scrap sale is irreversible. Getting a second quote costs only time, and the evaluation is free and carries no obligation.

Chochy's Pawn & Swap Shop

Buys or lends Not stated — ask
BuysGold, silver and diamond jewellery, Chains, rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings and watches, Firearms (shotguns, rifles), Televisions and stereo equipment, Tools, Camera equipment, Computers
The dealTwo different transactions, and the difference matters. Their site has a 'Buying & Selling' page covering outright purchase and sale, and separately lists 'the pawning process' among their specialties. Selling outright means you hand over the item, take the money, and the item is gone. Pawning is a loan secured on the item: you keep the right to redeem it by repaying the loan plus charges within the agreed period, and if you do not redeem it the item is forfeited to the shop. No loan terms, interest rate, fee schedule or redemption period appears anywhere on the site. Their site also lists 'In-house financing of vehicles' as a specialty, which is a separate credit product again. The site states 'Since 1983 we have been at our same location, and under the same ownership'.
Where409 Selkirk Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2W 2M3
Be certain which of the two transactions you are signing, because a pawn loan and a sale have opposite consequences. Manitoba's Personal Property Security Act expressly excludes a pledgor-and-pawnbroker transaction from Part 6, the part of the Act that sets out a borrower's rights and remedies when a secured creditor enforces against collateral. This shop publishes no loan terms, no interest rate, no fees and no redemption period, so ask for all of it in writing at the counter before agreeing to anything, and make sure the paperwork says plainly whether you are selling or pawning.

La Shop Lesage

Buys outright May collect — ask
BuysHousehold items assessed individually from photographs - they do not publish a category list
The dealOutright purchase, not consignment, and the process is the useful one for a house clearance. Their stated method: send photographs to lashoplesage@gmail.com or telephone, and in their words, 'If we are interested we will purchase your items and pick them up.' So the valuation happens from photographs before anyone moves furniture, and collection is part of the deal when they want the items. No consignment arrangement is mentioned anywhere on the site. They do not publish a list of what they will and will not consider, so send photographs of anything you are unsure about rather than assuming.
Where129-A Marion St., Winnipeg, MB R2H 0T3
Send clear photographs that include any damage. An offer made on flattering photographs is liable to be revised at the door, and you will have less room to argue once a van is outside. Agree the price for the whole lot before collection is arranged, and establish whether the figure quoted is net of the pickup or whether collection is charged separately - the site does not say.

So Over It Luxury Consignment

Consignment Bring it to them
BuysDesigner handbags, Designer clothing, Footwear, Accessories, Fine and designer jewellery
Won't takeBrands outside their published Accepted Luxury Designers and Accepted Contemporary Brands lists
The dealConsignment, not outright purchase - you are paid only after the item sells, and nothing on the site indicates they buy outright. Their consignment page publishes the commission as the consignor's share, in their words 'commission to the consignor'. Contemporary: 'a flat 40% commission to the consignor', or 50% if you take store credit. Luxury: 'All clothing: 30% commission. All items $1,499 and under: 50% commission. All items $1,500+: 60% commission.' Chanel and Hermes: 'All items $1,499 and under: 50% commission. All items $1,500-$2,999: 60% commission. All items $3,000+: 70% commission.' Authentication fees are published separately: 'Standard authentication: $75. Authentication with certificate: $95. Chanel and Hermes authentication: $150.' They publish accepted-designer and accepted-brand lists; check yours against them before booking. No minimum item value and no consignment term are published. Book through the 'Consign Now' flow on the site, or by phone or email.
Where101-394 Academy Rd, Winnipeg, MB (Luxury); 100-394 Academy Rd (Contemporary)
Consignment means no money until the item sells, and it may not sell. Read the percentages the right way round: the published figure is the consignor's share, not the shop's. Taking store credit rather than cash raises your share on the Contemporary side but locks the proceeds into the shop. Authentication fees are charged separately from the commission, so on a lower-value item a $75 to $150 fee is a large proportion of the return - ask how the fee is applied and whether it is still charged if the item does not sell. No consignment term is published, so ask how long they hold an item and what happens to it at the end.

Winnipeg Gold Buyer

Buys outright Bring it to them
BuysGold jewellery, damaged or not, valued on weight and purity, Silver jewellery, Silverware and sterling cutlery, Silver and old coins, Foreign coins and banknotes, War medals, Bullion
The dealOutright purchase with immediate payment. The site states 'Should you choose to sell your items... you will be paid cash on the spot!', describes itself as 'Fully licensed - Competitive market prices', and offers free evaluation. Their what-we-buy page is specific: they buy 'gold jewellery based on its weight and purity, damaged or not', plus 'silver jewellery, silverware (sterling cutlery) and coins' and 'foreign coins, banknotes (paper currency) and war medals'. Broken and damaged jewellery being explicitly welcome makes this a realistic outlet for the odd-earring-and-tangled-chain drawer that turns up in every house clearance. No payout percentage is published.
WhereThree Winnipeg branches plus Brandon, and the hours differ sharply between them. North Winnipeg: 1147 Henderson Hwy, R2G 1L5, (204) 661-4653, Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat 10am-5pm, closed Sun. South Winnipeg: 628 St Anne's Rd, R2M 4W3, (204) 233-4653, Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri 10am-4pm, closed Wed, Sat 10am-2pm, closed Sun. West Winnipeg: 3127 Portage Ave, R3K 0W4, (204) 832-4653, closed Mon, Tue-Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-2pm, closed Sun. Brandon: 204 Rosser Ave, (204) 728-4653, closed Mon-Tue, Wed-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat 10am-3pm, closed Sun.
Their site states 'we require a piece of photo ID (to help the authorities ensure the items are not stolen)' - bring it. Check the specific branch before travelling: the South branch closes Wednesdays, the West branch closes Mondays, and both shut at 4pm on the days they do open, so only the Henderson Highway branch keeps anything like full hours. War medals and older coins can carry collector interest that has nothing to do with their metal content, and this is a buyer that values gold by weight and purity - have anything unusual looked at by a collector or numismatist before selling it by weight.

CONFIRMED: Manitoba has no province-wide pawnbroker or secondhand-dealer statute. The index of C.C.S.M. Acts contains no Act titled "Pawnbrokers", "Second-hand", "Secondhand" or "Salvage Dealers". The only provincial mention of a pawnbroker is a definition inside The Personal Property Security Act, C.C.S.M. c. P35, which defines "pawnbroker" as "a person who engages in the business of granting credit to individuals for personal, family or household purposes and who (a) takes and perfects security interests in consumer goods by taking possession of them, or (b) purchases consumer goods under agreements or undertakings, express or implied, that the goods may be repurchased by the seller". ONE PROVISION MATTERS TO ANYONE PAWNING AN ITEM. Section 55(1) of that Act states that Part 6 - "Rights and Remedies on Default" - "does not apply to ... (b) a transaction between a pledgor and a pawnbroker." Part 6 is the part of the Act that gives an ordinary borrower protections when a secured creditor seizes and sells collateral. Those protections do not apply to a pawn transaction. A full text search of the Act returns the word "pawnbroker" only three times: the English definition, the French definition, and this exclusion. The Act sets no licensing, seller-ID, record-keeping, police-reporting, holding-period or redemption requirements for pawnbrokers. NOT CONFIRMED, AND THEREFORE NOT STATED AS FACT: Winnipeg regulates used-goods and precious-metals dealers municipally, but I could not retrieve the text of the City's business licensing by-law or its licensing pages - every City URL I tried returned 404 or was blocked. So this guide does not assert how many activities the City licenses, the definitions or exclusions for "Used Goods Dealer", "Precious Metals Dealer" or "Used Material Yard", whether a Certificate of Record Review Board from the Winnipeg Police Service is required, any holding period before resale, or any police-reporting duty. I also could not verify the Winnipeg Police Service "Operation Identification" program or its phone number. Anyone who needs those specifics should confirm them with City of Winnipeg Licensing and Bylaw Enforcement via 311 before relying on them. SELLER ID, CONFIRMED FROM THE BUYERS THEMSELVES RATHER THAN FROM ANY REGULATOR: Canada Gold's Winnipeg page states you must be "18 years of age or older" and provide "A valid government-issued photo ID". Winnipeg Gold Buyer's site states "we require a piece of photo ID (to help the authorities ensure the items are not stolen)". Both are the businesses' own published policies. Take government-issued photo ID to any of these outlets.
