Second-hand music & instruments in Mumbai typically sells for ₹450 to ₹28,500 (about $5 to $300). Where and when it was built moves the figure enormously, and buyers pay close attention to the country stamped inside. A model still made today has its price capped by the new one, while a discontinued line answers to nothing but demand.

Buying music & instruments in Mumbai
Mumbai is India’s financial capital and its most space-constrained city, where a flat is measured carefully and nothing oversized survives a move.
Anything with a soundboard hates being posted: temperature and knocks in transit undo a setup and can crack a body outright. Carrying it home yourself, in its case, is the safest journey it will make.
What to check in person
Ask what it has been stored in and where, because an unheated room does more harm over a winter than years of playing. On anything electric, work every switch and socket while it is plugged in, and listen for crackle as the controls turn.
Collecting it in Mumbai
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The local train network is how the city moves and most small handovers are arranged around a station. For anything large, the lift and the society’s rules on moving goods matter more than the distance, and many buildings restrict it to certain hours.

Rental turnover is rapid and job moves bring people into the city constantly. The monsoon is severe enough to be a genuine planning constraint for several months, and sellers often price to clear before it arrives.
Say when it was last set up or serviced, and be honest about buzzes and dead spots. Have it tuned and ready to play when the buyer arrives, and include the case if you have it, because a case is worth real money on its own. Lifts in September as lessons restart, and again after Christmas.
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.
