Used textbooks in Aurangabad typically sell for ₹150 to ₹550 (about $2 to $6). Textbook value collapses the moment a new edition appears, which makes timing more important here than condition.
Selling textbooks in Aurangabad
Aurangabad is a tourism and manufacturing city near several major heritage sites, with a growing industrial base and a substantial student population. It is drier than the coastal cities, which is easier on stored goods. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
Manufacturing and tourism employment both move households, and the academic year adds a student cycle. Turnover is steady rather than concentrated into any one window.
On anything stored through a monsoon, check for damp at the base and the back. Those are the surfaces that sit against a wall or a floor and they show it first.
Aurangabad, in Maharashtra, has around 1.2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Aurangabad
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.
