Selling a Game Boy in Imphal
Imphal is a valley capital ringed by hills, and its central market is run entirely by women — one of the largest such markets anywhere and a genuine institution rather than a curiosity. Handloom weaving is widespread and skilled here.
Freight into the valley is slow and costly, so goods stay in circulation locally for much longer. Government employment and students leaving for study elsewhere both move households on predictable cycles.
The central market is the landmark everyone knows and is the natural meeting point. The city sits in a flat valley, so movement within it is easier than the surrounding terrain suggests.
Imphal, in Manipur, has around 270,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Imphal
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.
