Used trench coats in Brisbane typically sell for A$48 to A$210 (about $34 to $150). Trench coats are a classic that rarely dates, so a good one holds value for years provided the fabric has not been ruined by cleaning.
Selling a trench coat in Brisbane
Brisbane is subtropical, and that genuinely determines what survives second hand here. Humidity is hard on anything upholstered, wooden or electronic that has been stored badly, and buyers who have lived here a while will ask where an item was kept before they ask anything else.
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What trench coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Cotton gabardine with intact water resistance
- Original linings and removable warmers
What pulls it down
- Missing belts, which are difficult to replace
- Broken storm flap buttons
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the collar and cuffs in daylight
- Look at the composition label for gabardine content
Getting it ready
- Find the belt and all its loops, and check the buckle. A missing belt is the commonest fault and a real deduction.
- Look at the collar edge, cuffs and hem for grubbiness, and have it cleaned if it is dry-clean only and looks tired.

Put in the description
- Whether the belt, loops and buckle are all present
- Pit-to-pit and full length from shoulder to hem
Long and bulky when folded but light. Fold with tissue in the creases and say you have, since gabardine creases sharply.
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.

Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map.

How long is it on?
Give the shoulder-to-hem measurement and your own height. Trench length changes the whole look and is the usual cause of disappointment.
