Used fish tanks in Indore typically sell for ₹1,000 to ₹4,750 (about $10 to $50). An empty tank is bought on volume, dimensions and the state of the silicone — it is a simpler sale than a full setup, and it lives or dies on whether the seals are sound.
Selling a fish tank in Indore
Indore is the commercial centre of Madhya Pradesh and a significant education hub, with a reputation for being unusually well run and clean. It is a practical, business-minded market with a large and growing student population.
The academic calendar drives a clear annual cycle in study furniture and books. Commercial employment adds a steadier background flow of household goods.
On study furniture sold at the end of an academic year, check the joints on anything wooden. Desks and shelves get moved repeatedly between rooms and it is the joints that loosen first.
Indore, in Madhya Pradesh, has around 2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bhopal, Jabalpur and Gwalior are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Indore
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.

Steady year round with an autumn and January lift. Standard sizes sell within a couple of weeks; very large tanks are slower because few buyers have the floor for them.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a fish tank in Indore?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The city is well laid out and easier to drive than most Indian cities of its size, with parking generally available. The student areas are concentrated, which makes collecting several things in one trip realistic.
Have you tested it for leaks?
Fill it, wait, and report what happened. An untested old tank is worth far less than a tested one because the buyer is carrying all the risk.
