Used parkas in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$48 to A$230 (about $34 to $160). Parkas are bought for genuine cold, so the details that sell yours are the fill, whether the hood fur is real or faux, and whether it is actually waterproof.
Selling a parka in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Because freight from the east is slow and expensive, check that any spare parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Perth, in Western Australia, has around 2.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.

Getting it ready
- Read the label for the fill: down, feather or synthetic wadding, and the outer fabric.
- Check the hood, its fur trim and whether both detach, plus every zip, popper and drawcord.
Photograph
- The inner composition label
- Cuffs, hem and any stain, tear or worn area
Put in the description
- Whether the hood and fur trim detach, and whether the fur is real or faux
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither, and whether the coating still works
A short window from October to January, and prices drop sharply after. Storing until autumn is worth real money if you have missed 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.
