Used blazers in Kolkata typically sell for ₹300 to ₹1,150 (about $3 to $12). Blazers are judged on construction and shoulder fit, because those are the parts a buyer cannot alter cheaply.
Selling a blazer in Kolkata
Kolkata is the country’s literary and cultural capital, with a book trade that has run for generations and a stock of large old buildings. Books, furniture and musical instruments all have unusually deep and knowledgeable local markets.
Humidity is high for much of the year and is genuinely hard on paper, wood and electronics. Household turnover is slower than in the newer metros, so what appears is more often a real clear-out than a job move.
The Metro and the city’s dense street network make small handovers easy, but the older buildings have narrow stairs and no lifts, which is the real obstacle for furniture. Establish access before you agree a price.
Kolkata, in West Bengal, has around 4.5 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Howrah, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kolkata
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.

- The inner label with composition, and the lining
Put in the description

- Single or double breasted, and the number of buttons
Lifts in autumn and around interview and wedding season in spring. Classic navy and grey sell steadily; bold patterns move slowly.
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.
