Used trench coats in Perth, Western Australia typically sell for A$48 to A$210 (about $34 to $150). Trench coats sell on fabric and completeness, and the thing buyers check first is whether the belt is still with it — a beltless trench is worth substantially less.
Selling a trench coat in Perth
Perth is one of the most isolated large cities in the world, and that isolation is the single most useful thing to know about buying here. Freight from the east coast is slow and expensive, so the local second-hand market is deeper and better-valued than the population alone would suggest.
The resources industry brings people in on contracts and takes them out again, and a worker leaving at the end of a contract usually sells a whole household rather than shipping it. Those clear-outs are where the best-value listings come from.
Almost everything is collected by car and the city is built for it, so distance matters less here than in the eastern capitals. The coastal suburbs run a long way north and south, and it is worth naming a suburb rather than saying Perth.
Perth, in Western Australia, has around 2.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bunbury, Geraldton and Busselton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Perth
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
What trench coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised heritage makers with a following
- Complete with belt, buckle and epaulettes
What pulls it down
- Missing belts, which are difficult to replace
- Discoloured collars and cuffs
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm the belt and all buckles are present
- 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.
- Check the composition: cotton gabardine, poly blend or wool, and whether there is a removable lining.

Peaks in early autumn and again in spring, since a trench is a between-seasons coat. Midwinter listings sell slowly.
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.
