Used floor lamps in Bengaluru typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹11,500 (about $20 to $120). Lighting sells modestly unless it is a design piece, where the maker can matter more than the condition.
Selling a floor lamp in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is India’s technology centre and has the most transient professional population of any Indian city. Laptops, monitors and desk setups turn over quickly, and the mild climate year-round means goods are less weather-damaged than in most of the country.
Traffic is the defining constraint and crossing the city can take well over an hour, so nearly everyone arranges handovers within their own part of it. Apartment complexes usually require the buyer to be registered at the gate in advance.
On a laptop, ask its age and whether the battery has been replaced. Machines here are often company-issued and heavily used, which is fine, but the battery is usually the first thing to have gone.
Bengaluru, in Karnataka, has around 8.4 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Mysuru, Hubli and Mangaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bengaluru
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.
What floor lamps are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised design and mid-century pieces
- Safe, modern wiring or a recent rewire
What pulls it down
- Torn, stained or replacement shades
- Chipped marble and cracked bases
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the flex and plug for perishing or damage
- Look for a maker’s mark on the base
Getting it ready
- Plug it in and test it with a working bulb. Check the switch, and flex the cable gently along its length looking for cracked insulation.
- Clean the shade carefully. Fabric shades mark permanently, so dust rather than wipe unless you know the material.
Photograph
- The lamp switched on, so the buyer can see it works and how it throws light
- The shade inside and out, plus any dent, chip, rust or cable damage
Put in the description
- Material of the stand and the shade, stated separately
- Whether the cable, plug and switch are sound, and whether the shade is included
Style, material and height: “Brass Arc Floor Lamp, 180cm, Marble Base” or “Mid Century Tripod Floor Lamp, Teak”. Height matters because buyers are matching a specific corner, and the shade fitting type matters to anyone planning to replace it.
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.
