Sell Your Cardigan in India

Used cardigans in India typically sell for ₹150 to ₹650 (about $2 to $7). Cardigans sell on fibre and button completeness, so check the composition label and count the buttons before you photograph anything.

Selling a cardigan in India

UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

Working out what yours is worth

Cuffs, elbows and any hole, pill or stretch

Put in the description

Fibre composition and knit weight
Pit-to-pit and body length laid flat

Light and cheap to post. Fold rather than hang so the shoulders do not stretch, and use a waterproof bag for natural fibres — wool and cashmere absorb any damp in transit and arrive smelling musty, which buyers notice immediately.

Autumn through late winter, with a peak before Christmas. Natural fibre cardigans hold value; acrylic ones sell cheaply.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the ₹5,150 a buyer pays is the ₹5,150 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in India

India is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of India with their own page for cardigans.

Common questions

Where can I sell a cardigan in India?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

What is it made of?

Read the label. Wool and cashmere cardigans are worth several times acrylic ones and buyers ask immediately.

What do buyers check on a cardigan?

The buttons and the button band. Missing buttons and gaping bands are the most common faults and both are very visible.

Can I replace a missing button?

Yes, but matching exactly is difficult. Replacing the whole set with matching buttons often looks better than one odd one.
