Used hoodies in New York typically sell for $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.
Selling a hoodie in New York
New York apartments are small and most people do not own a car, and those two facts decide the whole second-hand market here. Furniture that fits a narrow room and can be carried up a staircase moves; anything oversized sits unsold however good it is.
Leases turn over constantly and moving day here means whole apartments emptied at once. The supply of used furniture is effectively continuous rather than seasonal, which is why prices stay reasonable even for good pieces.
Almost everything changes hands on the subway or on foot, so agree a station and a time rather than an address. For furniture, the question that decides the sale is which floor and whether there is an elevator — ask it before you agree a price, not when you arrive.
Confirm the floor and the elevator before anything else. A fifth-floor walk-up is the single commonest reason a furniture sale falls apart here, and it is nobody’s fault if it was never asked.
Handing it over in New York
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

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
- Bobbling and thinning at the elbows and cuffs
- 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
- 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 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
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.
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.
