Used cashmere sweaters in Thunder Bay typically sell for C$38 to C$170 (about $27 to $120). Cashmere is bought on condition of the fibre, so the two things that decide your price are pilling and moth holes — and both need photographing rather than describing.
Selling a cashmere sweater in Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay is the port at the head of the Great Lakes, where prairie grain has been loaded onto ships for over a century, and it is the largest city for a very long way in any direction. Winter here is severe and the isolation is real rather than rhetorical.
Forestry, port work and the university all turn people over on their own cycles. Because shipping anything in is costly, goods circulate locally for far longer here than they would in a larger market.
Driving is essential and the city has two distinct centres from its amalgamation, so agree which one. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is exactly why buying locally matters more here than in the south.
Because freight from the south is slow and costly, check that any parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Handing it over in Thunder Bay
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.

What cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- No pilling, or pilling that has been properly removed
- Classic colours that sell in any season
What pulls it down
- Moth holes, which are common and immediately visible
- Stretched cuffs and hems that no longer recover
Working out what yours is worth
- Hold the knit up to the light to reveal moth damage and thin patches
- Check the composition label for the cashmere percentage and ply
Getting it ready
- De-pill it properly with a cashmere comb or a fabric shaver. This takes twenty minutes and reliably adds to the price.
- Hand-wash gently if it needs it, and reshape flat to dry — never hang a wet cashmere sweater.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, on a contrasting plain surface
- Any hole, thin patch or repair, photographed against a light background so the size is clear
Put in the description
- The exact cashmere percentage, and what the rest of the blend is
- The ply if the label states it, since two-ply wears far better than single
Sells from October through February, with a clear peak before Christmas. Outside that window prices soften noticeably, so a summer listing is usually worth holding.
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.
