Selling a cardigan in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What cardigans are worth
What lifts the price
- All original buttons present and matching
- Recognised knitwear labels
What pulls it down
- Stretched, gaping button bands
- Thin acrylic knits, which sell for very little
Working out what yours is worth
- Count the buttons and check they all match
- Button it fully and check the band lies flat
Getting it ready
- De-pill the fabric, especially under the arms and at the cuffs.
- Read the composition: wool, cashmere, cotton and acrylic sit at very different prices.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, buttoned
- The buttons and buttonholes close up
Put in the description
- Fibre composition and knit weight
- Whether all buttons are present and any spare included
Light and cheap to post. Fold rather than hang so the shoulders do not stretch, and use a waterproof bag for natural fibres — wool and cashmere absorb any damp in transit and arrive smelling musty, which buyers notice immediately.
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.
