Used childrens books in Erode typically sell for ₹50 to ₹200 (about $1 to $2). Children’s books sell in bundles almost without exception, and the two things that lift a bundle above the rest are a named series and honest disclosure of scribbling.
Selling childrens books in Erode
Erode is one of the country’s largest turmeric markets and a major textile centre, with handloom and powerloom production and a wholesale cloth trade that draws buyers from well beyond the state. Agriculture and cloth run side by side here.
The wholesale market area is the landmark everyone knows, though it is congested on trading days. For anything large, agree a spot on a main road rather than inside the market lanes.
On cloth and textiles, ask whether the piece is export surplus or seconds. Both circulate here in volume and are perfectly good buys, but they are not the same thing and the price should reflect which.
Erode, in Tamil Nadu, has around 500,000 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.
Handing it over in Erode
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.

Age range, series and quantity: “15 Julia Donaldson Picture Books, Age 2-5” or “[Series] Complete Set, 10 Books, Age 7-9”. Age range and named authors are what parents search. Board books, picture books and chapter books are distinct markets, so say which.
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.
