Used Polaroid cameras in Udaipur typically sell for ₹3,200 to ₹14,000 (about $34 to $150). Instant cameras are bought to be used, so the whole sale rests on one thing: proving it fires and that film is still made for it.
Selling a Polaroid camera in Udaipur
Udaipur is built around a series of lakes with palaces on and beside them, and it is one of the country’s best-known destinations for both tourism and weddings. Marble processing and handicrafts are substantial local industries alongside the visitor economy.
Hotels and guesthouses replace furnishings on a commercial cycle here far more than in ordinary cities, and the wedding trade means occasion clothing is bought, worn once and sold on in genuine volume.
The old city around the lakes is narrow and largely unsuitable for vehicles, so agree a landmark outside it for anything large. The newer parts of the city are straightforward to drive in.
On occasion clothing, ask how many times it has actually been worn. A great deal here is worn once for a wedding and is genuinely as-new, but the answer is what separates that from a hire-trade piece.
Handing it over in Udaipur
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.

Getting it ready
- Check which film format it takes and confirm that format is still in production, since several are not.
- Clean the rollers inside the film door, which is what causes streaked and blotchy pictures.
Photograph
- An actual photograph it has taken, held next to the camera
- The film compartment with the rollers visible
Put in the description
- Whether that film is still manufactured
- Whether it has been tested, and with what result
Model and film type: “Polaroid 600 Instant Camera, Tested and Working” or “Instax Mini 9, Boxed”. The film format is the critical detail because it determines whether the camera is usable at all. The word tested belongs in the title when true — most listings cannot say it.
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.
