Used hardback books in Rohtak typically sell for ₹100 to ₹300 (about $1 to $3). Hardbacks are worth more than paperbacks for one reason, and it is the dust jacket — a first edition without its jacket can be worth a small fraction of the same book with one.
Selling hardback books in Rohtak
Rohtak is an education and administrative centre close to the capital region, with a large university and a national reputation for wrestling that is genuinely reflected in the number of akhadas and training facilities here.
The university area is the obvious meeting point for anything student-related and the city is compact. The highway to the capital is the reference point for anyone coming from outside.
On gym and training equipment, check the welds and the bearings rather than the paint. Equipment here does serious daily work rather than sitting in a spare room, and that is where the wear actually is.
Rohtak, in Haryana, has around 375,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Faridabad, Gurugram and Panipat are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Rohtak
