Used model kits in Bathinda typically sell for ₹300 to ₹2,100 (about $3 to $22). Model kits are worth what their completeness says they are worth, and the crucial distinction is one word: sealed, started, or built.
Selling model kits in Bathinda
Bathinda sits in the cotton belt with a thermal power station, a refinery and a fort of considerable age, and it is an important railway junction for the region. Agriculture and heavy industry sit side by side here.
Refinery, power and railway employment all move households on transfer and contract cycles. Emigration from this region also means houses are cleared completely rather than gradually.
The station and the main market are the landmarks everyone uses. Industrial colonies are separate from the city centre, so agree which side you are meeting on.
Check for cotton dust and grit in vents and filters on anything electrical. It is everywhere in this belt and it shortens the life of fans and motors well before anything looks wrong.
Bathinda, in Punjab, has around 285,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Bathinda
