Used loafers in Adelaide typically sell for A$29 to A$135 (about $20 to $94). Loafers are increasingly built to be resoled, and whether yours can be is most of what sets the price.
Selling loafers in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
Households turn over more slowly than in Sydney or Melbourne because more people own rather than rent. That means less volume, but what appears is more often a genuine downsize or a deceased estate rather than a share-house clear-out.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
Adelaide, in South Australia, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What loafers are worth
What lifts the price
- Welted or stitched construction that can be resoled
- Original shoe trees, box and dust bags
What pulls it down
- Cemented soles that cannot be replaced
- Worn heel blocks and thin soles
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Flex the vamp looking for cracking
Getting it ready
- Look at the welt. A visible stitch line around the sole means the shoe can be resoled, and that is worth saying.
- Clean and polish the uppers, and check the heel for wear and the sole for thinning at the ball of the foot.
