Used cashmere sweaters in Adelaide typically sell for A$38 to A$170 (about $27 to $120). Cashmere is judged almost entirely on how it has been washed and stored, which is why two identical jumpers can sell for very different amounts.
Selling a cashmere sweater in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
Households turn over more slowly than in Sydney or Melbourne because more people own rather than rent. That means less volume, but what appears is more often a genuine downsize or a deceased estate rather than a share-house clear-out.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
What cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- Two-ply or heavier construction with real weight to it
- Classic colours that sell in any season
What pulls it down
- Moth holes, which are common and immediately visible
- Thin single-ply knits that have gone see-through at the elbows
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the knit up to the light to reveal moth damage and thin patches
- Check the composition label for the cashmere percentage and ply
Getting it ready
- De-pill it properly with a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. This takes twenty minutes and reliably adds to the price.
- Hold it up to a window and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss under artificial light.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting plain surface
- Any hole, thin patch or repair, photographed against a light background so the size is clear
Put in the description
- The exact cashmere percentage, and what the rest of the blend is
- The ply if the label states it, since two-ply wears far better than single
Sells from October through February, with a clear peak before Christmas. Outside that window prices soften noticeably, so a summer listing is usually worth holding.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
