Second-hand clothing in Amritsar typically sells for ₹100 to ₹10,000 (about $1 to $105). Brand and condition do most of the work, and in a face-to-face sale the fit does as much as either. Someone who has just tried a coat on and likes it rarely negotiates hard.

Buying clothing 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.
Clothing is the category people buy second hand without thinking twice about it, and it is the one where trying something on decides the sale. A buyer who can hold a coat and check the sleeve length against their own arm asks for far fewer photographs beforehand. Locally, wool jumpers and kurtas are among the things that move most reliably here.
What to check in person
Look closely at the buttons, buckles and any lining, because replacing them costs more than most garments are worth. On wool and cashmere, hold it to the light for moth holes, which are easy to miss and spread once they are in a wardrobe.
Collecting it in Amritsar
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
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.
Selling your clothing in Amritsar free
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.
Wash or press it before photographing, because creases read as neglect and cost you more than the effort is worth. Shoot it on a hanger against a plain wall, and name every flaw in the description rather than leaving it to be discovered. Coats and knitwear move from the first cold week onward; everything light moves in spring.
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.
