How much is a genuine leopard coat worth these days?

This is a topic that most furriers avoid, so we'll just be blunt and say it: Used fur coats aren't worth as much money as you think. Sorry, but it's true.

Even so, there are several things you can do with your old fur coats. There are a few fur companies in the U.S. who will sell your fur on a consignment basis or buy it outright. Most fur retailers will take old furs as trade-ins, meaning they will offer a credit on your fur, when you trade it in against the cost of a new one. They also have charities to direct your fur, and in return you receive a tax deduction. You could sell your fur directly to another fur-lover through the newspaper or online. Or, you could restyle your fur into a current, wearable fashion or home furnishing.

Furs are subject to wear and tear, especially to the cuffs and hems, and even five years down the line, fashion changes," said Athena Christie, fifth-generation furrier at Christie Brothers Furs, New York City and Atlanta. "We take old fur coats for trade-ins against new ones. If it is a 15-year-old mink coat of good quality fur and in good condition and in a salable style, we might offer somewhere in the $3,000 to $4,000 range for the coat against the price of a new one, but it's difficult to make generalizations about used furs. We encourage many of our clients to donate their old coats to a fur industry-supported breast cancer research charity in exchange for a tax deduction."
