Used mom jeans in Reno typically sell for $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 Reno
Reno sits at the foot of the mountains on the edge of the high desert, with a casino economy that has been substantially supplemented by logistics and technology as companies have moved east from the coast. The lake and the ski resorts are close.
Technology and logistics relocations have brought a wave of households in from the coast, and the university clears student housing each May. Ski and outdoor equipment turns over on a genuine season.
On ski and snowboard gear, check the bindings and boot soles rather than the topsheet. Those have a service life regardless of appearance, and shops will refuse to mount old bindings.
Reno, in Nevada, has around 265,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Reno
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Common questions
Where can I sell mom jeans in Reno?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. Driving is assumed and the city is compact. Mountain passes close in winter storms, which matters if either of you is coming over them, so agree a fallback.
What is the rise?
Measure crotch seam to waistband at the front and give the number in inches. Rise is the defining feature of this cut.
