Used winter coats in Mackay typically sell for A$48 to A$230 (about $34 to $160). Warmth is the only thing the buyer actually wants to know about, and almost no listing tells them — so state the fill, the lining and how cold it genuinely handles.
Selling a winter coat in Mackay
Mining rosters govern the supply. People set up a household for a contract and clear it when the contract ends, and downturns in the basin put a great deal onto the market at once rather than gradually.
Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
On tools bought for mine work, ask whether they were used on site or at home. Site tools earn their keep and are often better maintained, but they have also done far more hours than the same model from a garage.
Mackay, in Queensland, has around 85,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What winter coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Down and technical fills from recognised outdoor makers
- Working zips, storm flaps and drawcords
What pulls it down
- Stained cuffs and collars
- Listing in late spring, when demand falls away
Working out what yours is worth
- Work the main zip and every pocket zip
- Check cuffs and collar in daylight for marks
Getting it ready
- Check the care label: if it is dry-clean only and visibly grubby, get it cleaned. A clean winter coat sells for noticeably more.
- Test the main zip along its whole length, and check for missing toggles, buttons or a detachable hood.
Photograph
- The hood and collar, including whether the hood detaches and whether the fur is real or synthetic
- Cuffs and hem, plus any pilling, staining or thinning
Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and full length from shoulder to hem
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither
Bulky and heavy, so postage is expensive — vacuum bags reduce the parcel considerably. Collection suits these well, and lets the buyer check the fit over a jumper, which is how they will actually wear it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Everything is done by vehicle and utes are common, which makes collecting something large easier here than in most places. Rotation schedules mean a seller may only be in town on certain weeks, so agree the window early rather than assuming flexibility.
Is the fur real?
Check the base of the trim: real fur grows from skin, synthetic is stitched into a fabric backing. Photograph it and say which.
