Used cashmere sweaters in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 99 to AED 445 (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 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.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
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.
Handing it over in Abu Dhabi
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
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
- Felting or shrinkage from a hot wash
- 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
- Hold it up to a window and check for moth holes, which are small, round and easy to miss under artificial light.
- 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
- A close, well-lit shot of the knit surface after de-pilling, to prove the condition
Put in the description
- The exact cashmere percentage, and what the rest of the blend is
- Whether there are any moth holes, however small, and how many
Light, compact and cheap to post, so there is no reason to limit yourself to local buyers. Fold with tissue rather than compressing it hard, and use a waterproof mailing bag.
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.
