Selling loafers in Akola
Akola is a cotton and agricultural trading centre in eastern Maharashtra, hot and dry for most of the year with a settled population. The market is practical and driven by the agricultural calendar.
Agricultural cycles determine when households spend and when they sell, so goods appear in waves after a harvest. Turnover is slow and items are usually well used before they are sold on.
The city is small enough that distances are rarely an issue and parking is generally available. Summer heat is severe and shifts most arrangements to early or late in the day.
Akola, in Maharashtra, has around 540,000 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. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Akola
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.
What loafers are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised makers with resoling services
- Uppers with no cracking across the vamp
What pulls it down
- Cracking across the flex point
- Worn heel blocks and thin soles
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the sole edge for a welt stitch line
- Photograph the soles and heel blocks
Getting it ready
- Look at the welt. A visible stitch line around the sole means the shoe can be resoled, and that is worth saying.
- Clean and polish the uppers, and check the heel for wear and the sole for thinning at the ball of the foot.
