Second-hand men’s clothing in Mangaluru typically sells for ₹100 to ₹2,450 (about $1 to $26). Brand, cloth and cut set the price, and a jacket with a working buttonhole and a full canvas is worth several times a fused one that looks similar on the hanger.
Buying men’s clothing in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
Men’s clothing turns over more slowly and in better condition than most categories, because it is worn longer and replaced less often. Fit is the whole question, and tailoring in particular is worth seeing on before any money changes hands.
What to check in person
Check the shoulder seam sits on your actual shoulder, because that is the one thing a tailor cannot easily fix. Look at collar and cuff edges for fraying, check the lining of a jacket at the armhole, and try the trousers rather than trusting the waist size.
Collecting it in Mangaluru
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.

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.
