Used loafers in Devonport 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 Devonport
Devonport is where the ferry from the mainland docks, which makes a town of this size a genuine gateway, and it sits in the middle of one of the most productive vegetable-growing districts in the country. Caravans and vehicles come off that ferry constantly.
Touring travellers sell up at the end of a trip rather than shipping things home, which puts camping and vehicle equipment onto the market here disproportionately. Agricultural work adds its own seasonal population on top.
The town is small and driving is easy. The ferry timetable shapes the traffic through town more than anything else, so it is worth avoiding the hour either side of a sailing if you are collecting something large.
Devonport, in Tasmania, has around 30,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Hobart, Launceston 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
- Recognised makers with resoling services
What pulls it down
- Cracking across the flex point
- Stretched or collapsed backs
Working out what yours is worth
- Flex the vamp looking for cracking
- Photograph the soles and heel blocks
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.

Brand, style and material: “Leather Penny Loafers, Size 8, Brown” or “Suede Tassel Loafers, EU 42”. Name the maker if there is one, and say Goodyear welted or leather soled if it is true — those phrases bring in buyers who are searching for exactly that.
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.
