Sell Your Wool Jumper in the US

Used wool jumpers in the US typically sell for $16 to $74. Wool knitwear is judged on how it has been washed, since one hot wash permanently ends a jumper’s life.

Selling a wool jumper in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Working out what yours is worth

Hold it to the light to reveal moth damage
De-pill it before photographing

Getting it ready

De-pill the surface, particularly under the arms and at the cuffs.
Read the composition and note whether it is lambswool, merino, shetland or a blend.

Put in the description

Number and size of any moth holes
Neckline style and whether the ribbing has stretched

Fibre, style and size: “100% Lambswool Crew Neck Jumper, Forest Green, Size M”. Name the specific wool — merino, lambswool and shetland are searched separately and priced differently. Say if it is a recognised knitwear brand.

October through February with a Christmas peak. Natural fibre jumpers hold value all winter; synthetics do not.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $74 a buyer pays is the $74 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell a wool jumper in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Any moth holes?

Check against a window and answer with a number and a photograph. It is the defining question on any wool garment.

Do moth holes make it unsellable?

Not unsellable, but they lower the price. Photograph them rather than letting a buyer find them.

Is de-pilling worth the effort?

Very much so. A few minutes with a fabric shaver is the difference between looking tired and looking cared for.
