Selling a bomber jacket in Kota
Kota is India’s coaching capital, where well over a hundred thousand students arrive each year to prepare for engineering and medical entrance examinations. Almost no other city in India has a second-hand market so completely defined by a single population.
The examination calendar is the whole story. Students arrive together and leave together, and the departure weeks put an extraordinary volume of books, desks, cycles and bedding onto the market at once, at the lowest prices of the year.
Buy in the departure weeks if you can, and check editions on any study material. Volume is enormous then and prices are the lowest of the year, but an outdated edition is a poor bargain at any price.
Kota, 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, Jodhpur and Bikaner are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kota
India Post, Delhivery and DTDC all offer nationwide coverage, and courier cost varies sharply between metros and smaller towns.
