Used knitwear in Philadelphia typically sells for $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 Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a rowhouse city with a very large student population across several universities. The houses are narrow with tight staircases, so furniture that fits a rowhouse sells and anything wide does not, regardless of quality.
The student cycle dominates: leases across the university districts turn over together in late summer, and that fortnight puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined.
Measure the staircase before agreeing to anything large — the turn at the top is what defeats most sofas here. SEPTA covers the city for small handovers and street parking is competitive enough that a loading plan is worth agreeing in advance.
Measure the staircase turn, not the doorway. Rowhouse stairs defeat more sofas than any other obstacle in this city, and the measurement that matters is the diagonal at the top.
Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Pittsburgh, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Philadelphia
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
