Selling a hoodie in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the ferry schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a drive. A missed sailing is a two-hour problem, not a ten-minute one.
Nanaimo, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What hoodies are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised streetwear and vintage labels
- Original printed or embroidered graphics with no cracking
What pulls it down
- Stretched-out ribbing that no longer recovers
- Unbranded basics, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the neck label for brand and production era
- Inspect cuffs and hem for stretch and bobbling
Getting it ready
- Wash it and, if the print is cracked, say so rather than photographing it from a distance.
- Look inside the neck for the size tag and the composition, particularly the cotton percentage.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a plain surface
- The print or logo close up, showing any cracking
Put in the description
- Brand, size and pit-to-pit laid flat
- Cotton percentage and whether it is a heavyweight fabric
Sells all year with a lift from September onward. Recognised brands and vintage prints move within days; plain unbranded hoodies are abundant and slow.
