Selling a classical guitar 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.
Handing it over in Siliguri

What lifts the price

Working out what yours is worth
- Check the bridge sits flat with no gap
- Measure the string height at the twelfth fret

- Check the bridge for lifting and the top for cracks, and fit fresh nylon strings if the current ones are dead.
Photograph
- The full guitar front on, plain background
- The neck sighted down its length, plus the headstock
Put in the description
- Size: full, three-quarter or half
- Any cracks, bridge lifting, and whether a case is included
Post only in a hard case with the strings slackened and the headstock padded. Collection lets the buyer play it, which sells a guitar better than any photograph.
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.
