Used kurtas in Mumbai typically sell for ₹150 to ₹800 (about $2 to $8). Kurtas span everyday cotton to heavily worked occasion pieces, and the fabric and embroidery set the price.
Selling a kurta 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. Compact furniture and anything that folds or stacks holds its value here far better than it does elsewhere.
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.
Ask what floor the item is on, whether the lift takes it, and what hours the building allows moving. Society rules stop more Mumbai collections than traffic does, and they are rarely mentioned in a listing.
Mumbai, in Maharashtra, has around 12.5 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Pune, Nagpur and Thane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Mumbai
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.

Very light and folds small, so cheap to post anywhere, and international buyers are common for good cotton and handloom pieces. Fold with tissue if there is delicate neckline embroidery so the threads do not catch.
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.
