Selling childrens books in Jalandhar
Jalandhar is a major sports goods manufacturing centre, producing equipment for markets worldwide, and has substantial links with families settled abroad. Sports equipment here is plentiful and knowledgeably traded.
The city is reasonably easy to drive with adequate parking, and the manufacturing areas are distinct from the residential ones. Winter is genuinely cold here.
On sports equipment, check the joins and the handle rather than the surface. That is where bats and rackets fail, and a repair there matters far more than cosmetic marks.
Jalandhar, in Punjab, has around 860,000 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. Ludhiana, Amritsar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jalandhar
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

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.
