Used bomber jackets in Thunder Bay typically sell for C$38 to C$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 Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay is the port at the head of the Great Lakes, where prairie grain has been loaded onto ships for over a century, and it is the largest city for a very long way in any direction. Winter here is severe and the isolation is real rather than rhetorical.
Forestry, port work and the university all turn people over on their own cycles. Because shipping anything in is costly, goods circulate locally for far longer here than they would in a larger market.
Because freight from the south is slow and costly, check that any parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Thunder Bay, in Ontario, has around 110,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Thunder Bay
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a bomber jacket in Thunder Bay?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Driving is essential and the city has two distinct centres from its amalgamation, so agree which one. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is exactly why buying locally matters more here than in the south.
Has the ribbing gone baggy?
Stretch a cuff and let it go. Perished ribbing is the classic bomber fault and the thing that makes it look old in photographs.
