Selling dumbbells in Kota
Kota is India’s coaching capital, where well over a hundred thousand students arrive each year to prepare for engineering and medical entrance examinations. Almost no other city in India has a second-hand market so completely defined by a single population.
The examination calendar is the whole story. Students arrive together and leave together, and the departure weeks put an extraordinary volume of books, desks, cycles and bedding onto the market at once, at the lowest prices of the year.
The coaching districts and their hostels are concentrated in a few areas, which makes collecting several items in one trip entirely practical. Most handovers are arranged on foot or by two-wheeler.
Buy in the departure weeks if you can, and check editions on any study material. Volume is enormous then and prices are the lowest of the year, but an outdated edition is a poor bargain at any price.
