Selling model trains in Chandrapur
Chandrapur is a coal and power district with large open-cast mines and one of the biggest thermal power stations in the state, and a well-known tiger reserve on its doorstep. It is also one of the hottest cities in the country in summer.
Mining and power station employment moves households on transfer and contract cycles, which clears complete sets. Coal dust and extreme heat also shorten the life of appliances, so they turn over faster than elsewhere.
Industrial colonies and the city market are the two recognisable areas, so agree which. Summer heat here is severe, so an early morning or evening slot is sensible rather than fussy.
Chandrapur, in Maharashtra, has around 320,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Chandrapur
