    What is old riding gear worth?

    In an effort to clean out my closet () I've got a bunch of stuff I should get rid of. The trouble is, I have no idea what it's worth. Any suggestions?

    It's all 5-10 years old, so not much hope of comparing with current retail prices.

    I've got a Dainese two-piece leather suit, the jacket has had a rough life but the pants are in pretty good shape. Also got a Dainese, Ducati-branded two-piece Gore-Tex suit. Jacket & pants are in average condition. Last but not least, I've got a pair of AlpineStars textile pants that are in very good condition but are just too damn small.

    Generally I hoard shit, and it's nice to open a closet and see "Boy, what stuff will I wear today?!" but in reality it's just wasting space.

    Dainese leather is 54 & 54. Dainese Gore-Tex is 56 jacket, 58 pant. AlpineStars pant is L, but realistically it fits like an M.

    I have the removable liners too.

    (edit) Also have a Hein-Gericke tank bag, never used, does not have a clear map window on top. And a very small Hein-Gericke tail bag, also never used.

    I'd definitely be interested in the gore-tex suit, but I think that's gonna be way too big on me. 6' 175ish.

    old dainese leathers can be worth a good amount, especially in the more radical colors. I have a pretty good vintage collection of old gear and know other people that collect as well. You may be surprised what you can get for them, even with rash and rips. People who buy them are buying them mostly for the look and character. They don't buy them for realistic protection. It's pretty rare to see a dainese leather jacket sell for less than $100 if it's ok shape.
