Selling a freezer 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.
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.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and check for rust at the threads and bearings. Humidity here is high and it reaches the parts that are hardest to see.
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.
What freezers are worth
What lifts the price
- Frost-free operation working correctly
- All baskets and drawers present
What pulls it down
- Missing baskets and drawer fronts
- Compressors that run without reaching temperature
Working out what yours is worth
- Run it and confirm it reaches and holds temperature
- Defrost fully and photograph the clean interior
Getting it ready
- Defrost it completely, dry it out and leave the door ajar so it does not develop a smell before collection.
- Check every drawer and flap for cracks, and note the model and capacity from the rating plate inside.
Photograph
- The whole freezer front on, door closed
- The door seal all the way round, plus any dent, rust patch or cracked drawer
Put in the description
- External width, height and depth in centimetres, and internal capacity in litres
- That it has been run and holds temperature, plus the state of the seal and drawers
Type and capacity lead: “Under Counter Freezer, 4 Star, 85L” or “Tall Frost Free Freezer, 6 Drawer, 60cm Wide”. Frost free is a genuine search, and so is chest versus upright, because they suit completely different spaces.
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.
