Used hoodies in Australia typically sell for A$19 to A$86 (about $13 to $61). Hoodies are cheap and plentiful, so yours sells on brand, print and the state of the cuffs — and on being photographed properly, which almost nobody bothers to do.

What lifts the price

What pulls it down
- Bobbling and thinning at the elbows and cuffs
- Stretched-out ribbing that no longer recovers
Selling a hoodie in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the neck label for brand and production era
- Photograph any graphic close up to show its condition
Getting it ready
- Check the cuffs and hem ribbing for stretch, and the drawcords for both being present.
- Look inside the neck for the size tag and the composition, particularly the cotton percentage.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a plain surface
- The neck tag with brand and size
- Cuffs and hem, plus any bobbling, stain or hole
Put in the description
- Brand, size and pit-to-pit laid flat
- Cotton percentage and whether it is a heavyweight fabric
- Print condition, including any cracking or peeling
Brand and print, then size: “Champion Reverse Weave Hoodie, Grey, Size L”. Heavyweight and reverse-weave constructions sell for far more than thin ones, so say the weight if you know it. Vintage or a specific tour print belongs in the title — those are searched deliberately.
Sells all year with a lift from September onward. Recognised brands and vintage prints move within days; plain unbranded hoodies are abundant and slow.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$86 a buyer pays is the A$86 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 hoodie in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Is the print cracked?
Photograph it close up. Print cracking is the main thing that separates a £40 hoodie from a £12 one and buyers zoom in.
Does cracked print reduce the value?
On modern hoodies yes. On genuine vintage pieces, some cracking is expected and does not put collectors off.
How do I stop a hoodie looking tired in photos?
De-bobble it, press the shoulders and hang it properly. It takes minutes and changes the impression completely.
