Used microwaves in Siliguri 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 Siliguri
Siliguri is the gateway to the northeast and the hill stations, a tea and transit city with heavy monsoon rainfall. It serves a wide surrounding region and trade here is unusually varied for the city’s size.
The city is a transport hub and the main routes are busy with through traffic for much of the day. Collection is straightforward once off the main corridors.
Rainfall here is heavy for months. Ask where anything electrical or upholstered was stored, and check the underside and back for mould rather than the visible surfaces.
Siliguri, in West Bengal, has around 510,000 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. Kolkata, Howrah and Durgapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Siliguri

- 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
Postable but bulky and easily damaged, so a well-padded box and a taped door are essential. Local collection is usually the sensible route at this price point.
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.
