Selling a cast iron pan in Siliguri
Siliguri is the gateway to the northeast and the hill stations, a tea and transit city with heavy monsoon rainfall. It serves a wide surrounding region and trade here is unusually varied for the city’s size.
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.
The city is a transport hub and the main routes are busy with through traffic for much of the day. Collection is straightforward once off the main corridors.
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.

What cast iron pans are worth
What lifts the price
- Smooth cooking surfaces on vintage pans
- Even seasoning with no bare patches
What pulls it down
- Cracks, which end the pan
- Rough modern casting on cheap pans
Working out what yours is worth
- Inspect the cooking surface for pitting
- Look for a foundry mark on the base
Getting it ready
- Wipe it out and, if there is surface rust, decide whether to remove it or sell it honestly as-is. Either is fine; hiding it is not.
- Sit it on a flat surface and check it does not rock, since a warped base performs badly on an induction hob.
Photograph
- The cooking surface straight down, in daylight, filling the frame
- Any rust, pitting, crack or chipped enamel, close up
Put in the description
- Diameter measured across the top rim, and depth
- Whether it is induction compatible and oven safe, and any rust or pitting
Extremely heavy for its size, so weigh it before quoting postage — the postage on a large skillet is a meaningful share of its price. Wrap heavily; cast iron breaks packaging, not the other way round.
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.
