Trade and transport move households steadily, and the city’s role as a regional gateway brings people through constantly. Rainfall is heavy for months at a time and damp is the first thing to ask about.

Siliguri, in West Bengal, has around 510,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Kolkata, Howrah and Durgapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Siliguri
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.
What aquariums are worth
What lifts the price
- Tanks with no chips, cracks or failing seals
- Larger volumes, which are disproportionately expensive new
What pulls it down
- Silicone seals that have lifted or perished
- Scratched acrylic tanks
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a fingernail along every seam for lifted silicone
- Confirm the filter, heater and light all work
Getting it ready
- List every piece of equipment: filter and model, heater wattage, lighting unit, air pump, substrate, decor and cabinet.
- Fill the tank and leave it standing for a few hours to check the seals, then drain it. A seal leak found by the buyer at home is a very bad outcome.

Put in the description
- Volume in litres and external dimensions including the cabinet
- Whether the cabinet is included and its condition
Collection only, fully drained and with the substrate removed. A filled tank must never be moved even a short distance — the flexing cracks the seals. Transport it flat and supported, never on an edge.
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.
