Used chest of drawerses in Bengaluru typically sell for ₹3,850 to ₹23,000 (about $40 to $240). Drawer runners are the thing that fails, and buyers open every drawer before they say anything about the price.
Selling a chest of drawers in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is India’s technology centre and has the most transient professional population of any Indian city. Laptops, monitors and desk setups turn over quickly, and the mild climate year-round means goods are less weather-damaged than in most of the country.
Technology hiring moves people in and out continuously rather than seasonally, and someone leaving the city normally sells an entire flat’s contents rather than transporting them. Work-from-home equipment is the most consistent category.
On a laptop, ask its age and whether the battery has been replaced. Machines here are often company-issued and heavily used, which is fine, but the battery is usually the first thing to have gone.
Bengaluru, in Karnataka, has around 8.4 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Mysuru, Hubli and Mangaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bengaluru
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.
What chest of drawerses are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid wood with dovetailed drawer joints
- Antique and mid-century pieces
What pulls it down
- Water damage to the base and back panel
- Replaced or mismatched handles
Working out what yours is worth
- Open and close every drawer fully
- Photograph the top and any water marks honestly
Getting it ready
- Empty every drawer and run each one in and out. Sticking runners can often be fixed with a candle rubbed along the wooden runner.
- Wipe the top. It is the surface buyers look at first and usually carries ring marks or heat damage.
Photograph
- All drawers open at staggered depths, showing they run freely
- The top surface at an angle to reveal ring marks, plus any chip, veneer lift or missing handle
Put in the description
- Number of drawers, and whether any are lockable or have dividers
- Whether every drawer runs smoothly, and whether handles match and are all present
Lead with material, drawer count and style: “Solid Pine Chest of Drawers, 5 Drawer, Waxed” or “1960s Teak Chest of Drawers, 6 Drawer”. Drawer count is a real search term because buyers are matching a space, and the era matters for anything mid-century.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a chest of drawers in Bengaluru?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Traffic is the defining constraint and crossing the city can take well over an hour, so nearly everyone arranges handovers within their own part of it. Apartment complexes usually require the buyer to be registered at the gate in advance.
Is it real wood?
State it plainly, and photograph an unfinished edge or the inside of a drawer, which is where the construction is visible and impossible to argue with.
