Used parkas in Miami typically sell for $34 to $160. Parkas are judged on the fur trim, the fill and the zip, and all three are expensive to put right.
Selling a parka in Miami
Miami is an international city with a highly mobile population and a hot, humid, salty climate. Boats and water equipment have a deep market, and humidity is the first thing to ask about for anything upholstered or electronic.
Traffic and the causeways determine how long a collection takes far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser areas is difficult and often paid, so agree a specific spot.
Ask whether the item has been through a storm or a power failure. Humidity, salt and surge are all hard on electronics here, and a seller who has owned it through a season will know.
Miami, in Florida, has around 450,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Jacksonville, Tampa and Orlando are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Miami
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
What parkas are worth
What lifts the price
- Fur or faux-fur trim present and intact
- Two-way zips running smoothly
What pulls it down
- Clumped or migrated fill
- Failed two-way zips
Working out what yours is worth
- Work the zip from both ends
- Shake it out and check the fill lofts evenly
Getting it ready
- Read the label for the fill: down, feather or synthetic wadding, and the outer fabric.
- Test whether water still beads on the outer, and say honestly if the coating has washed off.
Photograph
- Full length on a hanger, zipped, hood up
- Cuffs, hem and any stain, tear or worn area
Put in the description
- Fill type and, for down, the fill power or down percentage
- Whether it is waterproof, showerproof or neither, and whether the coating still works
Very bulky. Vacuum bags cut the parcel dramatically — tell the buyer it was vacuum packed so they let the fill loft again.
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.
