Selling a road bike in Kolhapur
The leather trade circulates constantly and locally, and buyers here know the difference between machine-made and hand-stitched work. Household turnover is steady rather than seasonal.
The old market areas are congested and the newer parts easier, and most collection happens by two-wheeler. The city is compact enough that distances are rarely a problem.
On chappals and leather work, check the stitching and the sole join, and ask whether it is hand-stitched. The difference between hand and machine work is real here and locally well understood.
Kolhapur, in Maharashtra, has around 560,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Mumbai, Pune and Nagpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
