Used tool sets in Kollam typically sell for ₹900 to ₹8,500 (about $9 to $89). Tool sets sell on completeness, so count everything against the case moulding before listing — a set with obvious gaps is worth far less than one you can show is complete.
Selling a tool set in Kollam
Kollam is the cashew processing capital of the country and sits on a large backwater lake, with coir and fishing alongside the nut trade. It is an old port city with a long history of trade well beyond the region.
The lake and the main road along it are the obvious reference points. Monsoon months make outdoor handovers difficult, so agree somewhere covered or plan around the weather.
Backwater humidity is constant here rather than seasonal. Ask about storage on anything with a motor, a circuit board or upholstery, and check for the smell of damp rather than only looking.
Kollam, in Kerala, 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. Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kollam
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.

Are the sockets metric or imperial?
Check the markings and say. Buyers usually need one or the other, and a mixed set suits some and frustrates others.
