ASOS Raincoats Resale Value

ASOS raincoats: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across ASOS

• ASOS Edition occasionwear, which is made in smaller runs for weddings and events and is genuinely searched for secondhand
• Bridesmaid and formal dresses, which are bought once, worn once and sell on well while the style is current
• ASOS 4505 activewear, which is a separate line with its own following rather than a mainline basic
• Anything unworn with tags, since the gap between the sale price new and the secondhand price is narrow on this label

What pulls ASOS resale value down

• ASOS Design mainline basics, which are discounted so aggressively new that a used one rarely covers postage
• Anything more than a season or two old, which is competing against the current range at clearance prices
• Peeling faux leather and coated finishes, common on the cheaper outerwear and beyond repair
• Pilled jersey and knitwear, which appears quickly on the lighter blends

Identifying and dating yours

1. The neck label distinguishes ASOS Design from Edition, 4505 and Collusion, and only some of those are worth listing individually
2. The care label carries a product code that can be searched to confirm the season and what it originally sold for
3. ASOS sizing varies noticeably between its own lines, so give flat measurements rather than the label size

What lifts any raincoat, whatever the label

Waterproof coats fail invisibly: the fabric looks fine long after the coating that made it waterproof has broken down.

• Recognised technical brands with named membranes
• Taped seams still fully bonded inside
• Working two-way and pit zips
• Durable water repellent still beading

And what pulls one down

• Delaminated coating flaking off the inner face
• Seam tape lifting at the shoulders
• Wetting out, where the face fabric soaks rather than beads
• Unbranded raincoats, which sell for very little

Working out what yours is worth

1. Turn it inside out and check the seam tape is fully bonded
2. Splash water on the shoulders and see whether it beads
3. Note the membrane name from the label

What to state in the listing

• Chest and length measured flat, plus the label size
• Whether it is waterproof, showerproof, or a shower-resistant fashion coat
• Whether the seams are taped, and whether it is lined
• Any peeling of the inner coating, which is the usual end-of-life fault

Brand, waterproof rating and size: “Rains Waterproof Raincoat, Size M, Taped Seams”. Named outdoor brands carry real value. If it has a millimetre hydrostatic head rating on the label, quote it — buyers who care about staying dry search for exactly that.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Run water over a sleeve and watch. If it soaks in rather than beading, the coating has gone and the coat should be described as showerproof at best.
2. Check the taped seams inside for lifting, which is where waterproof coats fail first.
3. Test the zip and any storm flap, and check the hood adjusters and cuff tabs are all present.

1. The coat on a hanger, front, whole
2. The taped seams inside, close up
3. The hood and cuffs, showing adjusters
4. The care label with size and fabric, plus any peeling, stain or worn area

When it sells best, and handing it over

Lifts in autumn and again in spring. Technical outdoor brands sell year round; fashion raincoats are seasonal and compete on style.

Light and packs small, so postage is cheap. Fold rather than compress anything with a membrane, and mention it has been washed with a technical wash if you have done so.

What buyers ask

Is ASOS own-brand worth selling secondhand?

Occasionwear is — ASOS Edition dresses and formal pieces sell steadily. Mainline ASOS Design basics generally are not, because the new price after discount is close to what a used one would fetch. Bundle those instead.

Which ASOS line holds value best?

ASOS Edition, the occasionwear line, followed by 4505 activewear. Both are labelled separately from ASOS Design and are worth naming in the title.

How much is an ASOS raincoat worth?

Roughly £11 to £45 depending on condition, against £15 to £60 for raincoats generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £28 for an ASOS raincoat, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
