Used microwaves in Coimbatore typically sell for ₹2,550 to ₹11,500 (about $27 to $120). Microwaves are cheap new, so second-hand values are low and the practical question is whether yours is worth the effort of listing.
Selling a microwave in Coimbatore
Coimbatore is a textile and engineering centre known for pumps and motors, with a pleasant climate by southern standards and a large student population. Engineering equipment and study furniture both move well.
The city is easy to drive with reasonable parking and the traffic is far more manageable than in Chennai or Bengaluru. Most handovers are arranged at home.
On motors and pumps, ask to hear it running under load. The local expertise is real and sellers expect a technical question rather than being put out by one.
Coimbatore, in Tamil Nadu, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Chennai, Madurai and Tiruchirappalli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Coimbatore
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.
What microwaves are worth
What lifts the price
- Clean interior with undamaged waveguide cover
- Larger capacities and higher wattage
What pulls it down
- Damaged or missing waveguide cover, which is a safety issue
- Missing turntable plate, which is size-specific
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the waveguide cover on the cavity wall is intact
- Confirm the turntable plate and roller ring are present
Getting it ready
- Clean the interior thoroughly, including the roof and the waveguide cover, and wash the turntable and roller ring.
- Heat a mug of water for a minute to confirm it works, and note the wattage and model from the rear plate.

- The rating plate showing make, model and wattage, plus any dent, rust spot or scratched panel
Put in the description
- Wattage, internal capacity in litres and external dimensions
- That it has been tested, and the state of the door, seal and interior
Steady, with lifts in September when students move and around house moves. Clean, tested units sell within days because they are usually the cheapest working option a buyer can find.
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.

Does the door seal properly?
Check the latch and seal and answer directly. A damaged door or seal is the one fault that makes a microwave genuinely unsafe rather than merely tired.
