Kolkata, in West Bengal, has around 4.5 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Howrah, Durgapur and Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kolkata
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.
