Used mobile phones in Durgapur typically sell for ₹4,000 to ₹25,000 (about $42 to $260). A phone listing that does not name the exact model will barely be seen, because every buyer searches by model — so identify it precisely before anything else.
Selling a mobile phone in Durgapur
Steel employment here is long tenure, so the market is driven by retirement rather than by people changing jobs: households that have been in the same quarters for thirty years clear them completely and all at once. That gives up well-kept older full sets rather than the single pieces a faster-moving city puts on the market.
The township is laid out in lettered and numbered sectors, and an address only makes sense if you have both — a sector letter on its own will not find a door. The plant townships gate their residential blocks as well, so the seller has to arrange entry in advance.
On anything stored through the monsoon, check the back and underside for damp. Township housing is well built but storage areas are often the least ventilated part of it.
Durgapur, in West Bengal, has around 580,000 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 Asansol are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Make, model, storage, unlock status: “Sony Xperia 10 IV 128GB Unlocked”. Never list a phone as just “mobile phone”. If it is an older or budget model, saying so honestly attracts the buyers who actually want a cheap spare or a first phone for a child.
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.
