Used puffer jackets in the UK typically sell for £20 to £100 (about $27 to $135). Puffer jackets are bought on fill, and the difference between down and synthetic is most of the price — check the label before you write anything else.

Selling a puffer jacket in the UK
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.
Working out what yours is worth
- Shake it out and check whether the fill lofts evenly
- Look for feathers escaping at the seams
Sell your Puffer Jacket in the UK
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
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
- Any tear, leak point or stain, close up
Put in the description
- Pit-to-pit and length, laid flat
- Any baffle tears, leaks or repairs
Put the fill in the title, because it is the search and the price driver: “The North Face 700 Fill Down Puffer Jacket, Black, Mens L”. Down fill power is a number buyers know. If it is synthetic, say so plainly rather than letting a buyer assume down and be disappointed.
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.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £100 a buyer pays is the £100 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a puffer jacket in the UK?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
How warm is it really?
Answer with the fill power or wadding weight rather than an opinion. Buyers comparing jackets want the number.
What is fill power and does it matter?
It measures how much loft the down provides, and higher numbers mean more warmth for the weight. Buyers of technical jackets look for it specifically.
Does washing a puffer damage it?
It can if done badly. Down needs a gentle wash and a proper tumble to re-loft, otherwise the fill stays clumped.
