Used varsity jackets in Launceston typically sell for A$48 to A$210 (about $34 to $150). Varsity jackets sell on materials and patches, so say whether the body is real wool and the sleeves real leather — the difference from a synthetic version is large.
Selling a varsity jacket in Launceston
Launceston is the northern city of the island and one of the oldest in the country, sitting where two rivers meet below a gorge that runs right into the city. The building stock is old, the winters are cold and the surrounding district is farming and cool-climate wine.
Old housing turning over brings old furniture with it, and the university campus adds a student cycle on top. Cold winters give warm clothing and heaters a genuine season here rather than a nominal one.
The city is compact and driving is easy by mainland standards, and the centre is walkable. Older houses mean narrow stairs and doorways, so measure anything large before you agree to it.
On old timber furniture, check the joints and the feet. The building stock here is genuinely old and so is much of what comes out of it, and age shows at the joins long before it shows on the surface.
Launceston, in Tasmania, has around 90,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Hobart, Devonport and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
