Used cashmere sweaters in Asansol typically sell for ₹400 to ₹1,500 (about $4 to $16). Cashmere is bought on condition of the fibre, so the two things that decide your price are pilling and moth holes — and both need photographing rather than describing.
Selling a cashmere sweater in Asansol
Asansol is a coal and steel city in the same industrial belt, older and less planned than Durgapur nearby. The market is practical and equipment-led, and decorative goods have little audience here.
Coal and steel employment dominate and move households on industrial rather than seasonal cycles. Dust is constant and worth considering for anything with a motor or a filter.
The city is spread around the industrial areas and driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial. Traffic is heavy on the main routes through.
Coal and industrial dust get everywhere. On anything with a motor or a filter, ask about storage and plan to clean it thoroughly before use.
Handing it over in Asansol
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 cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- Full-fashioned shoulders and a soft, dense handle
- Classic colours that sell in any season
What pulls it down
- Felting or shrinkage from a hot wash
- Stretched cuffs and hems that no longer recover
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.
- Hand-wash gently if it needs it, and reshape flat to dry — never hang a wet cashmere sweater.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting plain surface
- A close, well-lit shot of the knit surface after de-pilling, to prove the condition
Put in the description
- The exact cashmere percentage, and what the rest of the blend is
- Whether there are any moth holes, however small, and how many
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.
