Used winter coats in Brisbane typically sell for A$48 to A$230 (about $34 to $160). Winter coats are strongly seasonal, and the same coat can be worth noticeably more in October than in April.
Selling a winter coat in Brisbane
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.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
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 winter coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Working zips, storm flaps and drawcords
- Listing in autumn, when demand peaks
What pulls it down
- Down that has clumped or migrated out of the baffles
- Listing in late spring, when demand falls away
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the coat up and check the fill is evenly distributed
- Check cuffs and collar in daylight for marks
Getting it ready
- Check the care label: if it is dry-clean only and visibly grubby, get it cleaned. A clean winter coat sells for noticeably more.
- Look at the cuffs and collar edge, which is where wool pills and where padding wears through first.

- Pit-to-pit and full length from shoulder to hem
Bulky and heavy, so postage is expensive — vacuum bags reduce the parcel considerably. Collection suits these well, and lets the buyer check the fit over a jumper, which is how they will actually wear it.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a winter coat in Brisbane?
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. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Does it still repel water?
Be honest if the coating has worn off with washing. Buyers accept it readily when told, and are furious when they discover it in the rain.
