Workshop and industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating constantly. Humidity here is as high as in Kolkata and storage conditions are always worth asking about.
The bridges across the river are the practical constraint on any collection, and traffic across them is heavy for much of the day. The engineering districts are dense and better reached on foot or by two-wheeler.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and check for rust at the threads and bearings. Humidity here is high and it reaches the parts that are hardest to see.
Howrah, in West Bengal, 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. Kolkata, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What garden sheds are worth
What lifts the price
- Sound, treated timber with no soft spots
- A floor that is solid throughout
What pulls it down
- Panels that will not survive dismantling
- Sheds already partly collapsed
Working out what yours is worth
- Press a screwdriver into the base rails to check for soft rot
- Confirm the panels are screwed rather than nailed if it must come apart
Getting it ready
- Check the floor and the bottom of each panel for rot by pressing firmly. Ground-level rot is the standard failure.
- Look at the roof felt for splits and the roof boards for soft spots and daylight.
