Used flannel shirts in Sydney typically sell for A$15 to A$57 (about $11 to $40). Flannel shirts sell on brand and fabric weight, and the thing buyers check is whether the cotton has gone thin at the elbows and collar.
Selling a flannel shirt in Sydney
Sydney is Australia’s largest city and its most expensive to live in, which pushes people into smaller flats and shorter tenancies than the house-and-garden stereotype suggests. That makes furniture that fits a small apartment, and anything to do with the harbour and the beaches, the two things that move most reliably.
Rental turnover in the inner suburbs is high and leases commonly run six or twelve months, so households here reshuffle far more often than owner-occupied ones. Summer is when the water gear changes hands and winter is when it sits unsold.
The city sprawls a long way and traffic between the inner suburbs and the outer ones is the real cost of a collection, so most people arrange to meet near a train station on their own side of the city rather than crossing it. Parking near the harbour is scarce and expensive.
Sydney has around 5.3 million people in New South Wales, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Newcastle, Wollongong and Albury are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
