Used caps in Blackpool typically sell for £6 to £35 (about $8 to $47). Caps sell on brand and the state of the brim and sweatband, because those are what make an old cap look worn out.
Selling a cap in Blackpool
Blackpool is the country’s best-known seaside resort, with a tower modelled on the Eiffel, seven miles of promenade and an autumn illuminations season that extends the year. The tourism economy is genuinely seasonal and the town has real deprivation behind the front.
Guesthouses and holiday flats replace beds, wardrobes and armchairs on a refurbishment cycle, so furniture appears here in matched sets rather than singly. It is contract grade, built for heavy use and usually still sound, but it has had far more hours than a domestic equivalent of the same age, and it is worth knowing that is what you are looking at.
On guesthouse furniture, ask how many seasons it has worked. Commercial letting puts far more hours on a bed or a chair than a household ever would, and it does not show in a photograph.
Blackpool, in England, has around 150,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Blackpool
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cap in Blackpool?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The tram runs the length of the front and is genuinely the easiest way to move something small, but stretches of the promenade close to parking through the illuminations, which run well into November. Behind the front the terraced streets are narrow and almost entirely permit bays.
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.
How much is a cap worth in Blackpool?
Most used caps change hands for £6 to £35 (about $8 to $47). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
