Used chest of drawerses in Jodhpur typically sell for ₹750 to ₹14,000 (about $8 to $145). A chest of drawers is judged by how the drawers run — a buyer will open every one, so make sure they slide before you photograph anything.
Selling a chest of drawers in Jodhpur
Jodhpur sits on the edge of the desert and has a long-established trade in furniture, textiles and handicrafts, much of it made for export. Genuinely distinctive wooden and decorative pieces appear here far more often than elsewhere.
The export furniture trade means well-made wooden pieces circulate locally in a way they do not in most cities. Desert heat and dust are the two things to ask about for anything stored.
On wooden furniture, ask whether it is solid timber or veneered and check the joints. The export trade here produces both, and the difference in value is considerable.
Jodhpur, in Rajasthan, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Jaipur, Kota and Bikaner are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jodhpur

Lead with material, drawer count and style: “Solid Pine Chest of Drawers, 5 Drawer, Waxed” or “1960s Teak Chest of Drawers, 6 Drawer”. Drawer count is a real search term because buyers are matching a space, and the era matters for anything mid-century.
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.

Say what the finish is. A waxed or oiled surface needs different preparation from a laminate, and a large share of buyers for chests are planning to repaint.
