Used cashmere sweaters in Durgapur typically sell for ₹400 to ₹1,500 (about $4 to $16). 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 Durgapur
Durgapur is a planned steel and industrial township with a stable workforce and an organised layout. It is quieter and better serviced than most industrial cities in the region, and goods here are generally well kept.
Steel employment here is long tenure, so the market is driven by retirement rather than by people changing jobs: households that have been in the same quarters for thirty years clear them completely and all at once. That gives up well-kept older full sets rather than the single pieces a faster-moving city puts on the market.
The township is laid out in lettered and numbered sectors, and an address only makes sense if you have both — a sector letter on its own will not find a door. The plant townships gate their residential blocks as well, so the seller has to arrange entry in advance.
On anything stored through the monsoon, check the back and underside for damp. Township housing is well built but storage areas are often the least ventilated part of it.
Handing it over in Durgapur
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

What cashmere sweaters are worth
What lifts the price
- Two-ply or heavier construction with real weight to it
- Classic colours that sell in any season
What pulls it down
- Thin single-ply knits that have gone see-through at the elbows
- 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
- De-pill it carefully before photographing
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
- A close, well-lit shot of the knit surface after de-pilling, to prove the condition
- Any hole, thin patch or repair, photographed against a light background so the size is clear
Put in the description
- Whether there are any moth holes, however small, and how many
- The ply if the label states it, since two-ply wears far better than single
Put the cashmere percentage and the brand in the title, because “100% Cashmere” is the search and a blend is a different product: “100% Cashmere Crew Neck Jumper, Camel, Size M”. If it is a blend, say the percentage rather than letting a buyer assume.
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.
