Sell Your Kids Coat in Australia

Used kids coats in Australia typically sell for A$15 to A$67 (about $11 to $47). Children’s coats are outgrown long before they wear out, which makes them one of the best-value second-hand purchases there is — and one of the easiest things to sell.

Selling a kids coat in Australia

Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.

WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.

Working out what yours is worth

Run the zip fully several times
State the age and chest measurement

Getting it ready

Test every zip and popper, and check the cuffs and hood for wear.
Measure chest and length flat, because age labels vary enormously between brands.

Brand, type, size and season: “Regatta Waterproof Kids Coat, Age 5-6, Fleece Lined”. Brand matters more than people expect on outdoor kit, and words like waterproof, padded and fleece lined are all real searches for parents shopping by weather rather than by style.

Strongly seasonal. Winter coats sell from September to December and waterproofs in spring and autumn. A padded winter coat listed in May will sit, so hold it until autumn.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$67 a buyer pays is the A$67 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Australia is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of Australia with their own page for kids coats.

Common questions

Where can I sell a kids coat in Australia?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Is it actually waterproof?

Say what you have observed. Coatings wear off and a coat that no longer beads should be described as showerproof at best, or as needing reproofing.

When should I list a winter coat?

Early autumn. Demand for children’s outerwear is sharply seasonal, exactly as for adults.

Should I give the age or a measurement?

Both. Age labelling varies between brands, so a chest measurement prevents returns.
