Selling jeans in St Johns
Offshore rotations move households on fixed cycles and the oil sector’s ups and downs move the whole market at once. The row-house stock downtown turns over with genuinely old contents attached.
The downtown streets are steep and narrow and parking on them is limited, so for anything large agree access before the day. Weather closes roads here more often than in most of the country, so agree a fallback.
Damp and salt air are the constants here. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting closely — fog does more damage in this city than either cold or sun.

What jeans are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine vintage production with period hardware
- Natural fading that follows real wear
What pulls it down
- Altered hems that shorten the leg permanently
- Fast-fashion jeans, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Turn the outseam out and look for a selvedge line
- Measure the actual waist and inseam rather than trusting the label
Getting it ready
- Wash and dry them as you normally would, so the measurements you take reflect how they will arrive.
- Read the tab and the internal tag for the exact cut name — 501, Slim Straight, Bootcut — and the fabric composition.

- The waistband tag showing brand, size and cut
- A measuring tape across the flat waist, plus any wear at the hem or crotch
Put in the description
- The rise — high, mid or low — which decides the whole look and is rarely stated
- Fabric composition, particularly the elastane percentage, since stretch changes the fit entirely
Steady all year with no real season. Common sizes in recognised brands sell within a week or two; unusual leg lengths take longer but attract buyers who are specifically hunting and haggle less.
