Used blazers in Columbus typically sell for $20 to $94. Blazers are judged on construction and shoulder fit, because those are the parts a buyer cannot alter cheaply.
Selling a blazer in Columbus
Columbus is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, and the student cycle governs the second-hand market almost entirely. Desks, mini-fridges, bikes and bookshelves appear and disappear on the academic calendar.
Late summer is extraordinary here: tens of thousands of students move within the same few days, and the volume of furniture put out at once makes it the best buying window of the year. May is the mirror image.
The campus district is compact and much of it is walkable, so small handovers are easy. For furniture, the streets around campus are congested during the moving weeks and a specific time slot matters more than usual.
Columbus, in Ohio, has around 905,000 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. Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Columbus
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What blazers are worth

- Shine on the elbows and seat of the sleeve
Working out what yours is worth
- Pinch the lapel to feel for a floating canvas layer

Getting it ready
- Measure shoulder to shoulder across the back, plus chest, sleeve and length.
- Check the lining, the shoulder pads and whether the vents and pockets are still tacked shut.

Fabric, cut and size: “Wool Blend Single Breasted Blazer, Navy, Size 40R”. Include the shoulder measurement in the description — it is the one dimension a tailor cannot fix, so it decides whether the blazer is usable at all.
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.
