Used flannel shirts in Howrah typically sell for ₹150 to ₹500 (about $2 to $5). Flannel is judged on the weight of the cloth and whether it has been washed to death, since thin flannel has little value.
Selling a flannel shirt in Howrah
Howrah is a dense industrial and engineering city facing Kolkata across the river, with an old and knowledgeable trade in machine parts and tools. It is one of the most established workshop economies in the east.
Workshop and industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating constantly. Humidity here is as high as in Kolkata and storage conditions are always worth asking about.
The bridges across the river are the practical constraint on any collection, and traffic across them is heavy for much of the day. The engineering districts are dense and better reached on foot or by two-wheeler.
Howrah, in West Bengal, 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. Kolkata, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Howrah
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.
