Used varsity jackets in Orange typically sell for A$48 to A$210 (about $34 to $150). Varsity jackets sell on materials and patches, so say whether the body is real wool and the sleeves real leather — the difference from a synthetic version is large.
Selling a varsity jacket in Orange
Orange sits high enough to have genuine cold winters and occasional snow, which makes it cool-climate wine and apple country, and there is a large gold mine on its doorstep. That gives it both an agricultural economy and a mining payroll, which is an unusual combination.
Mine rosters bring households in and out on contract cycles, while the surrounding orchards and vineyards run on a seasonal workforce. Cold-weather clothing moves here on a genuine seasonal cycle rather than a fashion one.
Driving is easy and the centre is compact. Winter here is real rather than nominal, so for anything being collected in the colder months it is worth agreeing a daylight time.
On anything stored in a shed over winter, check for damp and for frost damage. It gets genuinely cold here, and water that has frozen inside a pump, a hose or a motor does damage that is invisible until it runs.
Orange, in New South Wales, has around 42,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
