Selling model kits in Bilaspur
Bilaspur is a major railway city — it is the headquarters of a full railway zone — and it serves as the administrative and legal centre for the region, with the state high court sitting here. Rice cultivation dominates the surrounding district.
Railway employment is the defining feature: transfers move complete households in and out on fixed cycles, and railway colonies turn over furniture and appliances in well-kept condition on a predictable schedule.
The railway colony areas and the main market are the two recognisable parts of the city. The station is the landmark everyone knows and is the simplest meeting point.
On goods from a railway colony, ask the transfer date. Railway families move on fixed orders and price to clear, and the date tells you more about the negotiation than the listing does.
Bilaspur, in Chhattisgarh, has around 400,000 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. Raipur, Bhilai and Korba are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bilaspur
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.

- The box art straight on, filling the frame
- The decal sheet flat, close enough to see whether it has yellowed
Put in the description
- Manufacturer, kit number and subject
- Whether sealed, opened but complete, started, or part-built
Manufacturer, subject and scale: “Tamiya 1:35 Sherman Tank, Sealed” or “Airfix Spitfire 1:72, Started, Decals Intact”. Scale is a hard filter for modellers, and the word sealed carries a real premium — so it must be true.
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.

Are the decals still good?
Photograph the sheet. Decals yellow and go brittle with age, and it is the most common reason an otherwise complete old kit disappoints.
