Anything 100% cashmere is a good, steady, authenti vendor on eBay. Sweaters, vests, coats, gloves, hats, scarves, baby wear, and blankets all do well on eBay, even employed or vintage. In fact, the older vintage cashmere items are often times 3 or 4 ply (thicker and more luxurious) than today’s 2-ply weave. You want to look for anything that is 100% cashmere – men’s, women’s, and children’s. Blends are good too, but 100% is what is going to get you top dollar. So, when you are browsing thrift stores and garage sales, take a few minutes to look through the sweaters for cashmere.

Next is camel hair. Again, this is a lavishness fabric that holds it is value and is expensive. You aren’t going to see these very often, but camel hair feels a lot like cashmere and sells very well.

My next pick is Alpaca. You don’t see this one too much, but when you find it, grab it. An Alpaca is sort of like a lama, and they are raised in South America. The Alpaca has long silky fleece that is made into wool. Baby Alpaca is exquisite and luxuriously soft, so look for that. When I find these, they commonly trade to somebody in South America.

Next is wool. Shetland wool does very well. Shetland wool comes from Shetland sheep. It is thick and warm, but may be scratchy. You often see these types of sweaters made in England or Scotland. Also look for 100% lambs wool. Lambs wool is much softer than regular wool and is not itchy.

Next is good old fashioned 100% wool. You want to look for thick sweaters -again, these trade well internationally. People in other countries don’t care if they are employed – in the United States we seem to have this mentality that used equals lower quality. This is merely not true. Again, look for 100% wool sweaters made in England, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. These are a finer quality.

Now for styles. My top picks here are the ski style sweaters – often times described as Norwegian, Nordic, Icelandic, or Fair Isle. They ordinarily have the ornamental knitted pattern around the neckline and have finelooking patterns. They are normally thick and chunky style sweaters -and many times say “hand made” or “hand loomed.” Ski sweaters do VERY well. Also look for any sweaters made in Italy. Italian costume is very high quality, and putting MADE IN ITALY in your title will get you a large total of hits. Again, when I find items made in Italy, they are commonly shipped right back there!

Also look for basic crew neck, turtle necks, cardigans, and vests – wardrobe essentials. The content is ordinarily more indispensable than the style.
