Used caps in Canada typically sell for C$11 to C$66 (about $8 to $47). Caps are collected at the branded end, and the brim and crown shape matter more than general condition.

Selling a cap in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the sweatband for staining
- Photograph the front logo close up
Getting it ready
- Check the brim for creasing or cracking, and the sweatband for staining.
- Note the closure type and the size or fitted measurement.
Photograph
- The cap from the front, showing the logo
- The side profile, showing brim shape
- The closure and size tag, plus any stain or fray
Put in the description
- Fitted size or closure type: snapback, strapback, fitted
- Brim shape: flat or curved, and whether the sticker is still on
- Sweatband condition and any staining or fraying
Brand, style and size: “New Era 59Fifty Fitted Cap, 7 1/4, Navy”. Style codes and fitted sizes are searched exactly. Say whether it is fitted, snapback or strapback, since those are separate searches.
Small but must not be crushed. Stuff the crown with paper and use a box, not a bag, or it arrives flattened.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$66 a buyer pays is the C$66 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cap in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Is the brim still flat?
Say whether it has been curved. Some buyers specifically want a flat brim and a curved one cannot be undone cleanly.
Which caps are worth collecting?
Recognised sportswear and streetwear brands, particularly vintage examples with period logos.
What fit should I state?
Fitted, snapback or adjustable, plus the size if fitted. It is the first thing buyers filter on.
