Used trench coats in Madison typically sell for $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 Madison
Madison is the state capital and home to the flagship university, built on an isthmus between two lakes with the capitol at one end and the campus at the other. It has a strong cycling culture and severe winters.
The university clears student housing each May and the student districts are dense enough that the turnover is visible. Bikes and winter equipment both move on strong seasonal cycles.
The isthmus means there are limited routes between the two sides of the city and they congest, so agree a realistic window. Cycling is genuinely practical here for anything portable.
Madison, in Wisconsin, has around 270,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Milwaukee, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Madison
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

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.
