Used kids coats in Brisbane typically sell for A$15 to A$67 (about $11 to $47). Children’s coats are outgrown in a season, so most are structurally fine and the zip is the usual failure.
Selling a kids coat in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What kids coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Working zips and intact cuffs
- Bundles by size and season
What pulls it down
- Broken zips, the most common fault
- Listing winter coats in spring
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the cuffs and collar in daylight
- State the age and chest measurement
Getting it ready
- Wash or wipe it down according to the label, and reproof anything waterproof if it has stopped beading.
- Measure chest and length flat, because age labels vary enormously between brands.

Light and compressible, so postage is cheap. Vacuum bags reduce the parcel size on padded coats and cut the volumetric cost significantly.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a kids coat in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Are there any stains?
Photograph any mark in daylight. Children’s coats collect marks and buyers expect some; they just want to see them.
How much is a kids coat worth in Brisbane?
Most used kids coats change hands for A$15 to A$67 (about $11 to $47). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
