Selling model trains in Agra
Agra is a tourism city with long-established leather, marble and handicraft trades. The craft economy means decorative and handmade items appear here regularly, and the tourist trade rises and falls through the year.
Tourism seasonality drives the craft trade and, indirectly, a good deal of household turnover. Summers are severe and shade during storage matters for anything with leather or adhesive.
The area around the monuments is congested and restricted for vehicles, so collection is usually arranged away from it. The rest of the city drives easily enough.
Agra, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Agra
Demand climbs ahead of the festival season and again in the run-up to wedding season, when clothing, jewellery and home items all move faster.
