Selling a cast iron pan in Salem
Salem is a steel and textile city in the Tamil Nadu interior, surrounded by mango orchards and hill country. It is a practical, industrial market where tools and durable goods sell and little else does.
Steel and textile employment move households steadily rather than seasonally. Equipment here has usually been worked hard, and hours under load matter more than age.
The city is easy enough to drive with reasonable parking and the industrial areas are distinct from the residential ones. Heat is severe for much of the year.
Salem, in Tamil Nadu, has around 830,000 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. Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Working out what yours is worth
