Used rucksacks in Visakhapatnam typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹9,500 (about $20 to $100). Rucksacks are bought on capacity in litres and sold on the state of the zips — a failing main zip is the single most common reason a good bag is worth very little.
Selling a rucksack in Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam is a port and steel city on the east coast with a significant naval presence. Salt air and humidity are constant, and the industrial base means tools and equipment circulate alongside ordinary household goods.
Naval and industrial postings move households on fixed cycles, and departing families commonly sell rather than transport. Cyclone season is a real consideration on the east coast.
The city runs along the coast between the hills and the sea, so it is long rather than wide and the distances follow the coastline. Driving is straightforward outside the port areas.
Visakhapatnam, in Andhra Pradesh, has around 2 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Vijayawada, Guntur and Nellore are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, capacity and type: “Osprey 45L Travel Rucksack, Cabin Size” or “Waterproof Cycling Rucksack, 25L”. Litres is the search term. If it is cabin-compliant for a specific airline size, say so — that brings in buyers with a trip already booked.
