Used caps in Mau typically sell for ₹100 to ₹600 (about $1 to $6). Caps are collected at the branded end, and the brim and crown shape matter more than general condition.
Selling a cap in Mau
Mau is a weaving town, and its powerlooms and handlooms producing sarees and dress material are the reason the town exists at its current size. Almost every part of the local economy connects back to cloth in some way.
Cloth and clothing move constantly here because the town produces them, and household goods turn over with the fortunes of the loom trade, which has genuine good and bad years rather than steady growth.
The weaving neighbourhoods are dense and the lanes are narrow, so agree a main-road landmark for anything large. Loom work runs long hours, so an early or late meeting often suits sellers better than the middle of the day.
On anything electrical from a loom household, ask about voltage protection. Power in the weaving areas is heavily loaded and fluctuates, and motors that have run unprotected wear out well before their time.
Mau, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 280,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
