Used kids coats in Canada typically sell for C$15 to C$66 (about $11 to $47). Children’s coats are outgrown in a season, so most are structurally fine and the zip is the usual failure.

Selling a kids coat in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Run the zip fully several times
- Check the cuffs and collar in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash or wipe it down according to the label, and reproof anything waterproof if it has stopped beading.
- Measure chest and length flat, because age labels vary enormously between brands.
Photograph
- The coat flat or on a hanger, front, whole
- The back and the hood
- The label showing brand and size, plus any stain, tear or worn patch
Put in the description
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither, and whether it is lined
- Zip, popper and hood condition
- Any stain, tear or repair, stated plainly
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.
Light and compressible, so postage is cheap. Vacuum bags reduce the parcel size on padded coats and cut the volumetric cost significantly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$66 a buyer pays is the C$66 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a kids coat in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Are there any stains?
Photograph any mark in daylight. Children’s coats collect marks and buyers expect some; they just want to see them.
What fails on children’s coats?
The zip, almost always. Test it fully, since a broken zip is what stops a coat selling.
Should I give the age or a measurement?
Both. Age labelling varies between brands, so a chest measurement prevents returns.
