Used bomber jackets in Bathurst typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Bomber jackets are bought on fit through the shoulders and the state of the ribbing, because perished cuffs and hem are what make an old bomber look tired.
Selling a bomber jacket in Bathurst
Bathurst is one of the oldest inland settlements in the country and it is known for the mountain circuit above the town, which brings an enormous motorsport crowd once a year. It has a university campus and genuinely cold winters, both of which shape the local market.
The student intake clears share houses each year and the motorsport scene keeps parts and tools circulating well beyond race week. Cold winters put genuine seasonal demand behind heating-adjacent goods and warm clothing.
On car parts, ask whether they came off a road car or a track one. Both are common here and they have led completely different lives, and it is the one thing a photograph will never tell you.
Bathurst, in New South Wales, has around 38,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The town is small and easy to drive in for most of the year, and comprehensively booked out during race week. Agree a landmark near the centre and avoid that week entirely if you can.
What are the measurements?
Give pit-to-pit and length. Bombers are cut boxy and label sizes vary hugely between brands and eras.
