Used fleeces in London, England 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 London
London turns over more second-hand goods than anywhere else in the country, and for a reason that has nothing to do with taste: the sheer density of people moving in, out and across the city. It has a deep vintage and designer resale culture that predates the internet, so buyers here arrive knowing what a fair price looks like and will say so.
Rental tenancies here turn over faster than anywhere else in the UK, and a tenancy ending usually means an entire flat being cleared in a week. Add several hundred thousand students across dozens of institutions and the supply is effectively continuous.
Ask which floor the item is on and whether there is a lift before you agree a price. A great deal of London housing is walk-up, and a wardrobe on the fourth floor is a different proposition from the same wardrobe on the ground.
London, in England, has around 8.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in London
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands. Around Camden, Brick Lane and Peckham are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.
What fleeces are worth
What lifts the price
- Working full-length zips
- Minimal pilling on the body panels
What pulls it down
- Heavy pilling and matting of the pile
- Thin high-street fleece
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 London?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Most small handovers happen at a station, because almost everyone is on the Tube or the rail network and almost nobody wants to drive. Driving into the centre means the congestion charge, the ULEZ and somewhere to park, so for anything you can carry, agree a station and a time. Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
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 London?
Most used fleeces change hands for £10 to £50 (about $13 to $67). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
