Used mom jeans in Cardiff typically sell for £12 to £50 (about $16 to $67). Mom jeans are bought for the rise and the fit through the hip, so the two numbers that sell them are the measured waist and the rise — not the label size.
Selling mom jeans in Cardiff
Cardiff is the Welsh capital and grew as the largest coal-exporting port in the world before rebuilding itself around government, broadcasting and a stadium that sits in the middle of the city. It has three universities and a bay redevelopment that changed the shape of the place entirely.
Student housing across three institutions empties in June and refills in September, and the broadcasting and creative sector brings people in on contracts. Both clear whole households rather than single items.
Check the fixture list before agreeing to collect anything large. On a match day the centre is closed to traffic and a straightforward pickup becomes impossible for several hours.
Cardiff, in Wales, has around 365,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Swansea, Newport and Wrexham are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Cardiff

Brand, cut, size and rise: “Levi’s 501 Mom Jeans, W29, High Rise, Light Wash”. Wash matters a lot in this cut and photographs badly, so name it. State whether they are rigid or stretch — buyers of this style usually have a firm preference.
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.

What is the rise?
