Used bomber jackets in Perth, Western Australia 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 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.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
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.
What bomber jackets are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine military issue with contract labels
- Intact ribbing at cuffs, collar and hem
What pulls it down
- Stretched ribbing that no longer recovers
- Cracked printed or embroidered patches
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the inner label for maker and any contract markings
- Work the main zip fully
Getting it ready
- Check the ribbed cuffs, collar and hem for stretch or loss of elastic, which is where bombers age first.
- Test the main zip along its full length, since a two-way zip that has lost a tooth is a real deduction.

Common questions
Where can I sell a bomber jacket in Perth?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. 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.
Is the lining intact?
Turn it inside out and check under the arms. Satin linings split there and it is worth showing rather than hiding.
