Used flannel shirts in Los Angeles typically sell for $11 to $40. Flannel is judged on the weight of the cloth and whether it has been washed to death, since thin flannel has little value.
Selling a flannel shirt in Los Angeles
Los Angeles runs on cars and on the entertainment industry, and both show up in what gets listed. Camera and lighting gear circulates here in a way it does almost nowhere else, and the climate means outdoor furniture and sports equipment stay usable year-round rather than spending half their life in a garage.
Freelance and project-based work means people move often and at short notice, and gear bought for one production regularly comes onto the market when it wraps. Household turnover is high across the rental stock generally.
Distance is the real cost of a collection here, not the price. A seller on the other side of the basin can be ninety minutes each way in traffic, so most people arrange handovers on their own side of town and name a specific parking situation.
Los Angeles, in California, has around 3.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Los Angeles
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.
