Used loafers in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$29 to A$135 (about $20 to $94). Loafers are a shoe where construction sets the price — a stitched, resoleable pair from a known maker is worth several times a glued pair that looks identical in photographs.
Selling loafers in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Perth, in Western Australia, has around 2.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
What loafers are worth
What lifts the price
- Welted or stitched construction that can be resoled
- Uppers with no cracking across the vamp
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
- 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.
