Used workwear jackets in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver
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.
