Long Beach, in California, has around 455,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind.

What winter coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Down and technical fills from recognised outdoor makers
- Listing in autumn, when demand peaks
What pulls it down
- Stained cuffs and collars
- 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
- Test the main zip along its whole length, and check for missing toggles, buttons or a detachable hood.
- Look at the cuffs and collar edge, which is where wool pills and where padding wears through first.

- Whether the hood detaches, and whether any fur trim is real or faux
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.
