Q: I would like to sell my 3/4 custom made female mink coat and hat from Alexander Furs.

A: It is very difficult to sell used fur coats and you get very little for them. The last furrier that I knew about who bought them is no longer in my book. There are some re-cycling artisans who use them on clothing. It would be a donation, though: You can call and ask: La Gaillarde, 514-989-5134

You can call the 20 or so second-hand clothing stores in my book, Smart Shopping Montreal (you can buy it on this site) and see if anyone wants it. Or you can post it on Kijiji or Craig’s List and see if you can sell it that way.

During the year, in the Senior Times, there was an ad which said “I buy women’s and men’s fur coats“. I pay cash and pick up anywhere in Canada.
