Used fleeces in Thunder Bay typically sell for C$19 to C$94 (about $13 to $67). Fleeces sell on brand and pile condition, because a matted, bobbled fleece looks worn out in a photograph however clean it is.
Selling a fleece 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.

What fleeces are worth
What lifts the price
- Deep-pile and retro-patterned fleeces in demand
- Minimal pilling on the body panels
What pulls it down
- Heavy pilling and matting of the pile
- Faded colours from repeated washing
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a fleece 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.
Is it bobbled?
De-bobble it first, then photograph. A shaved fleece looks cared-for and the difference in price is real.
How much is a fleece worth in Thunder Bay?
