Selling a kurta in Dhanbad
Dhanbad is the centre of India’s coal industry and the second-hand market here is overwhelmingly practical. Tools, machinery and durable household goods sell; the market for anything decorative is thin.
Company housing is allotted and given up on transfer and retirement, and a family leaving quarters usually sells nearly everything rather than moving it. Coal dust is the thing to ask about directly: anything with a motor, a fan or a filter that has been stored uncovered here has taken in far more of it than the same item would elsewhere.
The colliery townships have their own gates and their own security, and several are a real drive out from the city proper, so establish which township before agreeing anything. Company quarters generally need the seller to sign a visitor in at the gate rather than simply give out a house number.
Coal dust gets into everything. On anything with a motor, a filter or a bearing, ask how it was stored and expect to clean it thoroughly whatever the answer.
Dhanbad, in Jharkhand, 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. Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Mumbai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dhanbad

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.
