Used fleeces in Canada typically sell for C$19 to C$94 (about $13 to $67). Fleece is judged on pilling and zip condition, and technical outdoor brands hold value far better than high-street versions.

Selling a fleece in Canada
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.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Run the zip fully and check it does not separate
- Check the pile at the elbows and cuffs for matting
Getting it ready
- De-bobble the pile with a fabric shaver — it takes minutes and transforms how the garment photographs.
- Note the weight or grade if the label states it, since outdoor brands grade their fleece.

- Pile condition, and whether all zips and pockets work
Brand, weight and style: “Patagonia Synchilla Fleece, Full Zip, Size M”. Outdoor brand names do most of the work here. Say full zip, half zip or pullover, and give the grade if the label has one.
Light, compressible and cheap to post. A vacuum bag makes the parcel tiny.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$94 a buyer pays is the C$94 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a fleece in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. 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.
Do all the zips work?
Run each one including the pockets. Fleece zips fail more often than the fabric does.
Do fleeces hold their value?
Technical outdoor brands do well, and retro patterned fleeces have a strong following. High-street fleece sells for very little.
What fails first on a fleece?
The main zip, usually separating rather than breaking. Run it fully before listing.
