Used microwaves in Tumkur 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 Tumkur
Tumkur sits on the industrial corridor running out of the state capital and is close enough to be shaped by it, with coconut cultivation and a substantial education sector of its own. It has grown quickly as the capital’s industry has spread outwards.
The highway and the main market are the natural landmarks and both are easy to reach. Traffic on the corridor is heavy, so allow more time than the distance suggests.
On anything bought when a household moved out from the capital nearby, ask why it is being sold. Items that did not fit a smaller flat are often excellent value; items that failed are not, and the reason is worth asking for.
Tumkur, in Karnataka, has around 310,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Tumkur
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.

Wattage and type: “800W Solo Microwave, 20L, Silver” or “Combination Microwave Oven and Grill, 900W”. Wattage is the search term and combination models are a separate market. Include the external dimensions, because most buyers are fitting it into a specific gap.
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.
