Used luggage sets in Howrah typically sell for ₹750 to ₹3,850 (about $8 to $40). Luggage is judged on wheels and handles, because those are what fail and they are usually the parts you cannot replace.
Selling a luggage set in Howrah
Howrah is a dense industrial and engineering city facing Kolkata across the river, with an old and knowledgeable trade in machine parts and tools. It is one of the most established workshop economies in the east.
Workshop and industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating constantly. Humidity here is as high as in Kolkata and storage conditions are always worth asking about.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and check for rust at the threads and bearings. Humidity here is high and it reaches the parts that are hardest to see.
Howrah, in West Bengal, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kolkata, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Howrah
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.

Getting it ready

Common questions
Where can I sell a luggage set in Howrah?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The bridges across the river are the practical constraint on any collection, and traffic across them is heavy for much of the day. The engineering districts are dense and better reached on foot or by two-wheeler.
Do they nest for storage?
Confirm and photograph it. Storage space is a real objection to buying a full set and showing them nested answers it directly.
