Selling a puffer jacket in Armidale
Armidale is a university town on the New England tablelands, high enough that it gets frost through winter and occasional snow. The university dominates the local economy and the population turns over with the academic year in a way that is obvious on the ground.
Semesters govern everything. Share houses fill in February and empty in November, and the November clear-out is when desks, bookshelves and heaters come onto the market in volume and at their lowest prices.
The town is small and walkable in the centre, and almost everything else is a short drive. Winter mornings are genuinely cold, so agreeing a middle-of-the-day time in the colder months is sensible.
On anything electrical bought at the end of semester, plug it in before money changes hands. A great deal moves fast in the November clear-out and it is worth the extra five minutes.
Handing it over in Armidale

What puffer jackets are worth
What lifts the price
- Genuine down fill with a stated fill power
- Recognised outdoor and fashion labels
What pulls it down
- Tears and pinholes leaking down
- Compressed fill that no longer lofts after washing
Working out what yours is worth
- Shake it out and check whether the fill lofts evenly
- Check the composition label for down percentage and fill power
Getting it ready
- Read the inner label for the fill: down and feather percentages, or polyester wadding. This one detail sets the price band.
- Test the zip along its full length and check the hood, cuffs and any drawcords.
Photograph
- Full front on a hanger, zipped, so the loft shows
- The hood and cuffs, and the baffles from an angle to show loft
Put in the description
- Fill type and, for down, the fill power and down/feather ratio
- Whether the hood is detachable and whether it has a fur trim
Bulky but light. A vacuum bag shrinks the parcel dramatically and cuts postage — just tell the buyer it was vacuum-packed so they know to let it 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.
