Used microwaves in Indore typically sell for ₹2,550 to ₹11,500 (about $27 to $120). Microwaves are cheap, plentiful and sold on cleanliness — but the one thing a buyer genuinely needs to know is whether the door and seal are undamaged.
Selling a microwave in Indore
Indore is the commercial centre of Madhya Pradesh and a significant education hub, with a reputation for being unusually well run and clean. It is a practical, business-minded market with a large and growing student population.
The city is well laid out and easier to drive than most Indian cities of its size, with parking generally available. The student areas are concentrated, which makes collecting several things in one trip realistic.
On study furniture sold at the end of an academic year, check the joints on anything wooden. Desks and shelves get moved repeatedly between rooms and it is the joints that loosen first.
Indore, in Madhya Pradesh, has around 2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Bhopal, Jabalpur and Gwalior are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Indore
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

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.
