Selling an electric guitar in Patna
The examination calendar governs almost everything: students arrive, study for a year or two and leave, selling their books and furniture on the way out. Those windows are the best buying opportunities of the year.
The city is congested and the roads along the river are the main arteries, so timing matters more than distance. Most handovers are arranged at home or at a well-known landmark.
Books sold at the end of an examination cycle are excellent value but check for damp and for missing pages. Both are common in shared study accommodation and neither shows in a photograph.
Patna, in Bihar, has around 1.7 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gaya, Muzaffarpur and Bihar Sharif are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Patna

Brand, model and finish: “Fender Player Stratocaster, Sunburst, MIM 2019”. Country of manufacture matters enormously on electric guitars and belongs in the title where you know it. Say clearly if anything is non-original, because modified guitars sell fine when disclosed and badly when discovered.
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.
