Selling a Kindle in Kolkata
Humidity is high for much of the year and is genuinely hard on paper, wood and electronics. Household turnover is slower than in the newer metros, so what appears is more often a real clear-out than a job move.
The Metro and the city’s dense street network make small handovers easy, but the older buildings have narrow stairs and no lifts, which is the real obstacle for furniture. Establish access before you agree a price.
Humidity is the local hazard. On books check for foxing and on furniture check for swelling at the joints, because both are extremely common here and neither reverses.
Kolkata, in West Bengal, has around 4.5 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Howrah, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kolkata
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.
