Used fleeces in Bristol typically sell for £10 to £50 (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 Bristol
Bristol has an unusually strong independent and second-hand culture, and buying used here is mainstream rather than niche. It is also a serious cycling city, both for commuting and for sport, so bikes and parts change hands constantly and buyers know what they are looking at.
Two large universities give the usual summer turnover, and the concentration of house-shares across the north of the city means furniture and kitchen kit moves between households constantly rather than only in June.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Bristol has around 470,000 people in England, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bristol
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.
What fleeces are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised outdoor brands with a following
- Minimal pilling on the body panels
What pulls it down
- Broken or separated zips
- Faded colours from repeated washing
Working out what yours is worth
- Run the zip fully and check it does not separate
- Note the brand and any model name from the label
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.
Photograph
- The pile close up after de-bobbling, showing texture
- Cuffs, hem, pockets and any pull, burn or stain
Put in the description
- Full zip, half zip or pullover
- Pile condition, and whether all zips and pockets work
Light, compressible and cheap to post. A vacuum bag makes the parcel tiny.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a fleece in Bristol?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
Do all the zips work?
Run each one including the pockets. Fleece zips fail more often than the fabric does.
