What a used kids coat is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for kids coats, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £35 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £29 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £22 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £15 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £8 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a kids coat
- Recognised outdoor and kidswear brands
- Working zips and intact cuffs
- Waterproof coats with functioning coatings
- Bundles by size and season
What lowers it
- Broken zips, the most common fault
- Cuff fraying and stained sleeves
- Delaminated waterproof coatings
- Listing winter coats in spring
How to work out what yours is worth
- Run the zip fully several times
- Check the cuffs and collar in daylight
- State the age and chest measurement
Once you have those three answers you can place your own kids coat on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What fails on children’s coats?
The zip, almost always. Test it fully, since a broken zip is what stops a coat selling.
When should I list a winter coat?
Early autumn. Demand for children’s outerwear is sharply seasonal, exactly as for adults.
Should I give the age or a measurement?
Both. Age labelling varies between brands, so a chest measurement prevents returns.
