Selling a puffer jacket in Ludhiana
Ludhiana is India’s hosiery capital and a major manufacturing centre for bicycles and machine parts. That industrial base is unusually visible in the second-hand market: bicycles, tools and workshop equipment all have knowledgeable local buyers.
Manufacturing employment keeps equipment circulating year-round, and the winter clothing the city produces also turns over locally on a clear seasonal cycle.
Industrial and residential areas are quite separate and the city is easy enough to drive, so collection is straightforward once you know which you are heading for. Winter here is genuinely cold by Indian standards.
On a used bicycle, check the frame and bottom bracket rather than the paint. The local knowledge here is genuine and a seller who knows bikes will answer specifically.
Ludhiana, in Punjab, 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. Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ludhiana
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.
What puffer jackets are worth
What lifts the price
- Baffles intact with no leaking feathers
- Original stuff sack where supplied
What pulls it down

- Compressed fill that no longer lofts after washing
Working out what yours is worth
- Shake it out and check whether the fill lofts evenly
- Look for feathers escaping at the seams
Getting it ready
- Check every baffle for leaking feathers and look for small tears, which puffers get constantly and which are cheap to patch.
- Test the zip along its full length and check the hood, cuffs and any drawcords.

A short autumn and winter season, strongest October to December. Selling in spring typically costs a third of the value, so storing until autumn is usually worth 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.
