Used caps in St Albans 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 St Albans
St Albans grew beside the Roman city of Verulamium and has an abbey with the longest nave in the country, a twice-weekly market that has run for over a thousand years and a commuter population working in the capital. It is affluent and well preserved.
Commuter households move with jobs in the capital, and the affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out. Old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
Market days make the centre genuinely busy. Agree a spot on a wider road away from the market for anything large, and avoid the market hours if you can.
St Albans, in England, has around 75,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
