Used puffer jackets in Tempe typically sell for $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 Tempe
Tempe is dominated by one of the largest university campuses in the country, built around a butte and an artificial lake in the riverbed. It is dense by the standards of the region and overwhelmingly shaped by the student population.
The university is enormous relative to the city and clears student housing each May, which is overwhelmingly the dominant cycle. Bikes, desks and furniture move in real volume at that point.
The light rail runs through the city and campus and is genuinely useful for anything portable. Campus parking is difficult, so agree a meeting point off it for anything large.
In the May move-out weeks, look at the item in person if you can. The student market clears in a few days here and speed is precisely when checking gets skipped.
Handing it over in Tempe
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.

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.
