Selling graphic novels in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
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.
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.
Handing it over in Mangaluru
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.

Photograph
- All volumes lined up with spines readable, in order
- The covers fanned out so the count is obvious
Put in the description
- Series title, and exactly which volume numbers are included
- Publisher and edition, including omnibus or deluxe formats
Series, volume range and publisher: “[Series] Volumes 1-8, Complete Set, [Publisher]”. Volume numbers are the search. If the run is incomplete, say which volumes are included in the title rather than letting a buyer count them from a photograph.
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.
