Used puffer jackets in Mansfield 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 Mansfield
Mansfield sits in the former Nottinghamshire coalfield and had textile and brewing industries alongside the pits, with a market place at its centre and a Victorian railway viaduct running through the town. The coalfield closures reshaped the whole district.
Redundancy settlements after the closures put a great deal of professional-grade tooling into domestic garages, and it is reaching the market a generation later as those households are cleared by their families. Ask what a tool was actually used for; the history is what sets it apart from a retail equivalent.
The district is really a chain of former pit villages rather than one town, so Mansfield in a listing can mean somewhere several miles out with a centre of its own. Establish the village and not just the town, or you will arrange to meet in the wrong place entirely.
On tools left over from pit or factory work, ask what they were used for. A great deal of genuinely professional equipment is in private hands across this district and it is worth knowing its history.

Working out what yours is worth

- Check the composition label for down percentage and fill power
Getting it ready

A short autumn and winter season, strongest October to December. Selling in spring typically costs a third of the value, so storing until autumn is usually worth it.
