Selling a bicycle in Purnia
Purnia is the commercial centre of the Seemanchal region and a major trading point for jute and maize, sitting on the routes towards the north-eastern states. It has grown substantially as a regional market town. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
Crop payments arrive seasonally and household upgrades follow them. Out-migration for work in other states means houses are often cleared completely rather than a few items sold.
The market area and the station are the two landmarks everyone knows. Goods traffic is heavy on trading days, so allow more time than the distance suggests.
On goods from a household that is relocating out of state, ask when they are leaving. A fixed departure date tells you how much room there is on price, and both sides do better for the question.
Handing it over in Purnia
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.

Usually collected, and let the buyer ride it — a short test ride closes more bike sales than any photograph. Posting requires partial dismantling and a bike box.
