Used manga in Amritsar typically sells for ₹100 to ₹400 (about $1 to $4). Manga sells by series and volume run, and the two details that decide the price are which volumes you have and whether the print is still available new.
Selling manga in Amritsar
Amritsar is a major pilgrimage and tourism city close to the border, with long-standing trade in textiles and food. The constant flow of visitors supports a lively commercial market, and winters are cold enough to matter.
Pilgrimage seasons bring large temporary populations and the trade rises with them. Winter clothing turns over on a clear annual cycle because the cold here is real.
The area around the main religious sites is congested and largely pedestrian, so collection is arranged away from it. The rest of the city drives easily.
On woollens and shawls, check for moth damage in the folds rather than on the surface. Storage here runs long through the warm months and that is where it starts.
Amritsar, in Punjab, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Amritsar
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Working out what yours is worth

Getting it ready

- The covers fanned, showing the count
- A page spread showing print quality and any yellowing
Put in the description
- Language and publisher
- Whether the run is complete, and whether any volume is out of print
Series, volume range and language: “[Series] Volumes 1-12, English, Complete”. Volume numbers are the search and the language matters because both original-language and translated editions circulate. Say if any volume is out of print — that is where the value concentrates.
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.

Has it yellowed?
Photograph the page edges. Yellowing is normal on older manga printings and buyers accept it, but it should be visible rather than described.
