Used kids coats in Leeds typically sell for £8 to £35 (about $11 to $47). Children’s coats are outgrown long before they wear out, which makes them one of the best-value second-hand purchases there is — and one of the easiest things to sell.
Selling a kids coat in Leeds
Leeds is the financial and legal centre of the north with two large universities packed close to the centre, and it has one of the strongest vintage clothing scenes in the country. Kirkgate Market has been trading since the nineteenth century, so buying used here is entirely unremarkable rather than a lifestyle position.
The student districts empty and refill every summer, and because they are so concentrated the turnover is visible: whole streets change hands in a fortnight. That is when desks, bookshelves and bikes come onto the market in volume.
Student-let furniture has usually had a hard three years even when it photographs well. Check the joints on anything wooden and sit on anything upholstered before you commit.
Leeds, in England, has around 800,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. London, Birmingham and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Leeds
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work. Around Headingley, Hyde Park and Chapel Allerton are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Brand, type, size and season: “Regatta Waterproof Kids Coat, Age 5-6, Fleece Lined”. Brand matters more than people expect on outdoor kit, and words like waterproof, padded and fleece lined are all real searches for parents shopping by weather rather than by style.

Common questions
Where can I sell a kids coat in Leeds?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The centre is small enough to cross on foot in twenty minutes and the station sits in the middle of it, which makes meeting up straightforward. The dense student districts north of the centre are close enough together that collecting furniture from one is a short trip rather than an afternoon.
Is it actually waterproof?
Say what you have observed. Coatings wear off and a coat that no longer beads should be described as showerproof at best, or as needing reproofing.
