Selling a fridge in Mangaluru
Students arrive for professional courses and leave four or five years later, clearing whole rooms when they go, and a large share of families have members working abroad who send goods back or clear houses when they relocate. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.
Ask where the item spent the monsoon. Months of heavy rain and constant humidity here are hard on electronics, upholstery and anything wooden, and mould damage is not worth any discount.
Mangaluru, in Karnataka, has around 500,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description
- Height, width and depth in centimetres
- Capacity in litres, and whether it has an ice box
Type, capacity and brand: “Under Counter Fridge, 130L, Beko, White”. Under-counter versus full height is the primary filter because it decides whether the fridge fits the buyer’s kitchen at all. Add the dimensions in the description without fail.
