Used microwaves in Ludhiana typically sell for ₹900 to ₹5,000 (about $9 to $52). 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 Ludhiana
Ludhiana is India’s hosiery capital and a major manufacturing centre for bicycles and machine parts. That industrial base is unusually visible in the second-hand market: bicycles, tools and workshop equipment all have knowledgeable local buyers.
Industrial and residential areas are quite separate and the city is easy enough to drive, so collection is straightforward once you know which you are heading for. Winter here is genuinely cold by Indian standards.
On a used bicycle, check the frame and bottom bracket rather than the paint. The local knowledge here is genuine and a seller who knows bikes will answer specifically.
Ludhiana, in Punjab, 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. Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ludhiana
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.

What microwaves are worth
What lifts the price
- Clean interior with undamaged waveguide cover
- Larger capacities and higher wattage
What pulls it down
- Rusted interior cavity
- Missing turntable plate, which is size-specific
Working out what yours is worth
- Heat a cup of water and time it to confirm output
- Check the waveguide cover on the cavity wall is intact
Getting it ready
- Check the door closes squarely and the seal and latch are undamaged, since that is the safety-critical part.
- 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.
