Used fleeces in Melbourne typically sell for A$19 to A$96 (about $13 to $67). Fleeces sell on brand and pile condition, because a matted, bobbled fleece looks worn out in a photograph however clean it is.
Selling a fleece in Melbourne
Melbourne has the strongest vintage and op-shop culture in Australia and a large student population across several universities, so buying second hand here is entirely ordinary. It is also the country’s music city, which keeps instruments, amps and records moving in a way they do not everywhere.
Students arrive in February and leave in November, which inverts the northern-hemisphere rhythm. The inner suburbs also carry a lot of share-house accommodation, and share houses reshuffle constantly rather than seasonally.
On anything stored in a garage or shed, check for damp. The winters here are wetter and colder than the city’s reputation suggests, and fabric and particle board both suffer for it.
Melbourne, in Victoria, has around 5.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Melbourne
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
What fleeces are worth
What lifts the price
- Working full-length zips
- Minimal pilling on the body panels
What pulls it down
- Broken or separated zips
- Thin high-street fleece
Working out what yours is worth
- Run the zip fully and check it does not separate
- Note the brand and any model name from the label
Getting it ready
- De-bobble the pile with a fabric shaver — it takes minutes and transforms how the garment photographs.
- Note the weight or grade if the label states it, since outdoor brands grade their fleece.

Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and length laid flat
- Pile condition, and whether all zips and pockets work
Brand, weight and style: “Patagonia Synchilla Fleece, Full Zip, Size M”. Outdoor brand names do most of the work here. Say full zip, half zip or pullover, and give the grade if the label has one.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a fleece in Melbourne?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The tram network covers the inner suburbs densely and is how most small handovers happen. The city is flat, which makes collecting a bike or a chest of drawers by car straightforward, though inner-suburb streets are narrow and permit parking is tightly enforced.
Do all the zips work?
Run each one including the pockets. Fleece zips fail more often than the fabric does.
