Versus a new Gap jacket for almost the same price? |
No. That seems unreasonably high for HA. |
I am on a HA/Boden resale page on fb. If it is very good to excellent condition then yes.
People sell used pajamas for just under that price range, and sometimes over it. |
OP here. I was trying to see on HA side what their prices are for winter coats, but those are not available yet. I know that they typically have sale. |
Which kind of HA winter coat?
Their retail price can be pretty high (upwards of $75) I only buy from the outlet, where winter coats are usually on sale for $35- $50. When I re-sell to friends, I usually price it at $15-$20, depending on condition and weight. |
It depends. If it was bought through ebay where you are guaranteed free returns if anything is not as described, possibly. |
The average price on Ebay for a sold Hanna Andersson used coat is $20 plus 8.25 shipping. |
?? Used pajamas for $35? That's insane. You can get them new for less than that. |
I am the PP. That price is for the hard to find stuff like Snoopy or The Grinch. Most others are in the $20ish range. |
Also, old Hanna Andersson is higher quality than new. You can't compare Carter's polyester to 100% Organic Cotton that will stay in great shape through three kids. |
Absolutely not. For that price you can get a really nice, functional coat new. I've seen North Face that low at Nordstrom Rack or Macy's; LL Bean and Lands End sometimes do 25-50% off one item; and I've purchased Hatley for less than that via Amazon/6 PM.
I'm not even going to touch people paying a premium for used pajamas. My kid loves HA pajamas but I've never paid more than $20/pair by waiting for sales and stocking up. I also saw lots of HA sweats and dresses at TJ Maxx last year and expect this year will be similar. |
Costco has nice Eddie Bauer kids coats for 19.99 right now. Warm and comfy, cute colors. |
HA is actual down, versus cotton or poly fill in Gap or Mni Boden coats. If the fill content is important to you, then $35 is cheaper than any of the other brands mentioned here even 50% off. We're going to be outdoors a lot more this winter, so if there's a year to spring for actual down, this would be it. I think $35 including shipping is a fair price for a heavy weight down coat in excellent condition. I would not pay that much for an older one showing wear, even if the quality is better (sigh, old HA is much better quality).
I think the ones PPs are mentioning for cheaper are the thinner down coats, like this one: https://www.costco.com/eddie-bauer-youth-reversible-down-jacket%2C-blue-ombredark-blue.product.100539897.html |
when you say " actual down" You mean " actual soft bird feathers that the birds were still using when they were cruelly plucked out"......I am fine with polyfill. |
We live in the mid Atlantic, not Minneapolis. It will be fine. |
