Used workwear jackets in London, England typically sell for £20 to £90 (about $27 to $120). Workwear jackets are bought for durability and for the look, and both audiences want the same thing from you: the fabric weight and an honest account of the wear.
Selling a workwear jacket in London
London turns over more second-hand goods than anywhere else in the country, and for a reason that has nothing to do with taste: the sheer density of people moving in, out and across the city. It has a deep vintage and designer resale culture that predates the internet, so buyers here arrive knowing what a fair price looks like and will say so.
Most small handovers happen at a station, because almost everyone is on the Tube or the rail network and almost nobody wants to drive. Driving into the centre means the congestion charge, the ULEZ and somewhere to park, so for anything you can carry, agree a station and a time. Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
Ask which floor the item is on and whether there is a lift before you agree a price. A great deal of London housing is walk-up, and a wardrobe on the fourth floor is a different proposition from the same wardrobe on the ground.
London, in England, has around 8.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in London
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands. Around Camden, Brick Lane and Peckham are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
