Used knitwear in London, England typically sells for £10 to £45 (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 London
London turns over more second-hand goods than anywhere else in the country, and for a reason that has nothing to do with taste: the sheer density of people moving in, out and across the city. It has a deep vintage and designer resale culture that predates the internet, so buyers here arrive knowing what a fair price looks like and will say so.
Rental tenancies here turn over faster than anywhere else in the UK, and a tenancy ending usually means an entire flat being cleared in a week. Add several hundred thousand students across dozens of institutions and the supply is effectively continuous.
Ask which floor the item is on and whether there is a lift before you agree a price. A great deal of London housing is walk-up, and a wardrobe on the fourth floor is a different proposition from the same wardrobe on the ground.
London, in England, has around 8.9 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in London
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands. Around Camden, Brick Lane and Peckham are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

Common questions
Where can I sell knitwear in London?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Most small handovers happen at a station, because almost everyone is on the Tube or the rail network and almost nobody wants to drive. Driving into the centre means the congestion charge, the ULEZ and somewhere to park, so for anything you can carry, agree a station and a time. Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
What are the fibres?
List them per item. A bundle described as knitwear could be all cashmere or all acrylic, and the price difference is enormous.
How much is knitwear worth in London?
Most used knitwear change hands for £10 to £45 (about $13 to $61). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
