HELP! I want to sell 4 Brioni Sport Coats that I acquired in a lost and found sale

Hello.

Looking for some advice. I have 4 Brioni Sport Coats and a few Brioni ties that I purchased at a lost and found sale for a friend with a 42R jacket size. I am not very fashion savvy, however, after doing some googling, I realized that these were quite expensive when they were originally purchased. I am now thinking about possibly trying to make a few bucks instead of giving them to my friend. See photos.

Here's what I know:
Size 42R
There is someone's name on 3 of the tags as well as a "client number" (Italian translation lol)
They seem to be in great shape - I do not see any damage at all (they are wrinkled)
They seem to be mostly a mix of wool and silk

I also have 1 Ermenegildo Zegna brown sport coat (see last photo) that says 52R on the tag but seems to be small for a 52R. I am not certain this one came from the same guy with the Brionis.

Can someone please direct me on the best way to sell them for a fair price or if it is even worth my time. I downloaded poshmark and there are similar sport coats on there for like $150 (ish) which would be cool with me but I can't determine if the people selling are having any luck finding buyers. Again, is it worth my time.

I appreciate any help!

Thank you

Brioni is a pretty good find - the thrift thread may be the best place to ask for help here.

Generally speaking, listing on ebay is what most people will suggest - with a bit of work there are certain things you can do to ensure the listings move quickly (good descriptions, measurements, good high quality photos)

For a lot of people though this time investment aint worth it - in which case a reseller may be the best option (Luxeswap probably being the most popular on here).

Likely that the one marked 52 is the same as the size 42 ones (in case you weren’t aware, a Euro 52 is the same as an Anglo/US 42)
