Used retro consoles in Karnal typically sell for ₹5,000 to ₹32,000 (about $54 to $335). Retro consoles are collected rather than merely used, which is why boxed and complete examples sell for multiples of loose ones.
Selling a retro console in Karnal
Karnal is an agricultural research centre of national significance, home to major institutes for dairy and wheat research, and it sits in the basmati rice belt. It is a prosperous, well-serviced district town on the main corridor north of the capital.
Research institute postings move salaried households on transfer cycles, which produces complete and well-kept sets. Agricultural income arriving at harvest drives the wider pattern of household upgrades.
On appliances from an institute household, ask the age and to see it run. Postings mean these are often well-maintained items sold on a deadline, which is a good buy — but hard water here still scales elements.
Karnal, in Haryana, has around 290,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Faridabad, Gurugram and Panipat are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

India Post, Delhivery and DTDC all offer nationwide coverage, and courier cost varies sharply between metros and smaller towns.

Does it work on a modern TV?
Test it and say what adapter you used. Most retro consoles output over connections modern sets no longer have, and buyers need to know what else they must buy.
