Used knitwear in Tirunelveli typically sells for ₹1,300 to ₹6,000 (about $13 to $61). Knitwear bundles and mixed lots sell on fibre content, so sort by material first — a single cashmere piece is worth more listed alone than the rest of the bundle together.
Selling knitwear in Tirunelveli
Tirunelveli is an old temple city on the Thamirabarani, known across the state for its halwa, and it serves a large and well-irrigated agricultural district. It is a settled, long-established city rather than a recently industrialised one.
Colleges bring students in each year and government postings move salaried households on transfer cycles. Wedding seasons concentrate the buying and selling of textiles, jewellery and furniture into a few months.
On appliances, ask about hard water and to see the machine run. Scaling on elements and pumps is the commonest failure here and a full cycle shows it up immediately.
Tirunelveli, in Tamil Nadu, has around 480,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tirunelveli
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Fibre, count and size: “Wool Knitwear Bundle, 5 Pieces, Size M, All Natural Fibre”. Saying all natural fibre is a genuine differentiator in a bundle listing. Keep bundles to a single size — mixed sizes are much less useful to any one buyer.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell knitwear in Tirunelveli?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The temple area and the main market are dense and busy, so agree a landmark on a wider road for anything needing a vehicle. Distances across the city are short.
Any moth damage?
Check every piece against a window and disclose everything. Moths move between garments, so buyers ask about the bundle as a whole.
