Used Columbia clothing typically sells for $8 to $170 (about £6 to £126) depending on the piece and its condition. Branded clothing is the deepest part of any second-hand marketplace and also the most competitive, which means a listing lives or dies on two things: whether the buyer can trust the size, and whether the photographs show the wear honestly. The label size on its own tells a buyer very little, because cuts change between seasons and between the markets a brand sells into.

Sizing and fit on Columbia clothing
Columbia names its technologies on the garment rather than in the model name, so the labels inside are the specification. Sizing is US and cut generously, and the reflective-lined pieces are a distinct construction rather than a finish.
- The insulated and reflective-lined jackets make up most of the demand and turn on the named technology as much as the model
- The shells are worth whatever their waterproofing still is, which is the first thing to go and the thing buyers ask about
What to check on a used Columbia piece
Check the inside of a shell for delamination and check the taped seams for lifting at the shoulders, since both are permanent and neither is visible from the outside in a photograph.
For the checks that apply to any used clothing regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used clothing.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $89 Columbia piece, a marketplace charging 20% takes $18, one charging 13.6% takes $12 and one charging 10% takes $9. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $89.
Listing your Columbia clothing
- Put the brand, the garment, the size and the colour in the title in that order. That is the phrase people actually search, and a clever title costs you the match
- Bundle the pieces that will not carry a listing on their own. Several items in one size sell as a single transaction where each alone would sit

Questions
How do I know if a used Columbia jacket is still waterproof?
Look at the inside rather than the outside. If the taped seams are lifting or the laminate is bubbling away from the face fabric, the jacket is a wind and shower layer rather than a waterproof one, and it should be listed as that. A durable water finish on the outside can be reproofed; a failed laminate cannot.
