If you’ve inherited a mink coat or discovered a vintage fur in your closet, you might be wondering: Is this worth anything? Can I sell fur coats? And more importantly, where do I begin?
At Mano Swartz, we’ve helped thousands of people across the U.S. appraise and sell their furs with dignity, privacy, and same-day offers. Whether it’s a sentimental piece or simply taking up space, here’s everything you need to know before letting it go.
It’s a common question—and for good reason. Most local dry cleaners and consignment shops no longer take furs. Many department stores have phased them out. So, who buys fur coats near you?
Look for specialty furriers who still work with vintage and luxury furs. A professional furrier understands quality, craftsmanship, and resale demand. Even better if they offer remote appraisals and shipping labels—no need to drive anywhere.
Tip: You can text us pictures of your fur at 786-681-1532 to receive a same-day quote.
Yes—but condition matters.
A fur coat’s value depends on:
– The type of fur (mink, sable, fox, etc.)
– Condition (no tears, odors, or bald spots)
– Brand or designer label
– Age (some antique furs are collectible)
– Style (full-length coats have more value than cropped jackets)
Many people are surprised to learn their old fur still holds value—especially if it’s been stored properly. If it’s in excellent condition, it could be worth hundreds.
The key is to work with an expert, not a mass marketplace. Platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Poshmark can be time-consuming and risky. Buyers may not understand the true value of fur—and returns can be messy.
With Mano Swartz, the process is simple:
1. Text us photos of the fur you want to sell.
2. We’ll respond with a same-day offer.
3. If you accept, we’ll send a free FedEx label.
4. Once we receive your fur, we’ll confirm the offer and send fast payment (Venmo or business check).
It’s easy and safe.
Mink is still one of the most in-demand furs—especially if it’s dark ranch, female pelts, or from a known brand like Saga or Blackglama.
Here’s what appraisers look for:
– Length (full-length coats have the highest value)
– Pelt quality (soft, dense, evenly colored)
– Silhouette (classic styles sell best)
– Storage history (cold storage = longer life)
Even vintage minks from the 1980s or 1990s can still be quite valuable today.
If you’re asking where to sell fur coats, know this:
– Local options are rare. Few stores accept pre-owned furs.
– Online resellers often take a cut of 40–50%.
– Professional fur buyers (like us) offer a direct sale—no commissions, no waiting, no pressure.
We’ve purchased thousands of antique and vintage furs directly from individuals across the country. With over 135 years of experience, we know how to honor the coat—and the person selling it.
The best place to sell a fur coat isn’t necessarily the one that’s closest—it’s the one that offers:
– A fair market appraisal
– A fast, simple process
– Respect for the seller
Whether your coat is a vintage heirloom or a high-fashion piece, we believe in treating each one with care—and offering cash quickly. If your coat meets our buying criteria, we typically send payment within 2 business days of receiving it.
Selling your fur coat isn’t just a transaction—it’s a transition. You’re letting go of something that may carry history, meaning, or simply a high price tag.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
– Take good photos: Hang the coat on a door or wall in natural light.
– Note the size: If there’s no tag, estimate (S/M/L/Plus).
– Be honest about flaws: Small tears or odors can affect the offer.
– Don’t wait too long: Fur loses value if it’s not stored well over time.
You don’t need to feel guilty for selling your fur. If it’s no longer your style, or you want to pass it along, that’s perfectly okay.
We’re here to help make the process respectful, fast, and fair. Whether you’re selling your own fur or one you inherited, we’ll guide you with white-glove service—every step of the way.
Text photos of your fur to 786-681-1532 and we’ll send you a same-day offer.
It’s easy. It’s safe. And it’s all done with care.
