Selling denim shorts in Belgaum
Belgaum sits on the border with the neighbouring state and has a foundry and engineering cluster of real weight, particularly in hydraulics and aluminium castings. It has a large military cantonment and an air force presence, and the culture here is genuinely bilingual.
Military postings move whole households on fixed cycles and produce complete, well-kept sets. The engineering cluster keeps tools and workshop equipment circulating far more than a city this size would otherwise.
On tools from the foundry cluster, ask whether they were used in a workshop. Industrial-grade equipment appears here regularly and is worth having, but workshop hours are not household hours.
Belgaum, in Karnataka, has around 490,000 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. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Belgaum
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

Brand, rise and size: “Levi’s 501 Denim Shorts, W28, High Rise, 3in Inseam”. Inseam in the title is unusual and immediately useful. Say whether the hem is original or cut off, since a home-cut hem is worth less.
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.
