Used fleeces in San Francisco typically sell for $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 San Francisco
San Francisco is expensive, hilly and built largely of older buildings without lifts, and all three facts shape what actually sells. Small, well-made furniture moves; large pieces are difficult to get into a flat at all, and buyers know it.
Tech employment cycles and the cost of living together produce unusually high turnover, and people leaving the city almost always sell rather than ship. Home office equipment appears in quantity whenever hiring slows.
Parking is the hardest part of any collection here and the hills are not a joke on a bike. Establish which floor, whether there is a lift, and where a vehicle can legally stop, before agreeing anything larger than a box.
Establish where a vehicle can legally stop before you agree to collect anything large. Between the hills, the permit zones and the lack of lifts, access is the hard part of almost every sale here.
San Francisco, in California, has around 810,000 people, 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. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Francisco

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
- Broken or separated zips
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the pile at the elbows and cuffs for matting
- 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.
- Check every zip, including pocket zips, and the elastic at cuffs and hem.
