Used e-readers in Amritsar typically sell for ₹2,550 to ₹6,500 (about $27 to $68). E-readers sell on screen size, front light and which ecosystem they are tied to, so name the brand and model precisely rather than listing it generically.
Selling an e-reader in Amritsar
Amritsar is a major pilgrimage and tourism city close to the border, with long-standing trade in textiles and food. The constant flow of visitors supports a lively commercial market, and winters are cold enough to matter.
Pilgrimage seasons bring large temporary populations and the trade rises with them. Winter clothing turns over on a clear annual cycle because the cold here is real.
The area around the main religious sites is congested and largely pedestrian, so collection is arranged away from it. The rest of the city drives easily.
On woollens and shawls, check for moth damage in the folds rather than on the surface. Storage here runs long through the warm months and that is where it starts.
Amritsar, in Punjab, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Amritsar
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Put in the description

Brand, model and features: “Kobo Clara HD E-Reader, 6in, Front Light, 8GB”. Brand matters because each is tied to its own store and format support. Say whether it takes EPUB, which is a genuine differentiator for buyers with existing libraries.
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.
