Selling running shoes in Allahabad
Allahabad is a historic city at the confluence of the rivers, with a major university and an enormous population of students preparing for competitive examinations. Books and study furniture dominate the second-hand market.
The older parts of the city are congested and the university area is concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip practical. Bicycle and two-wheeler handovers are the norm.
Study materials sold at the end of a preparation cycle are excellent value, but check editions and for missing pages. Syllabuses change and an outdated edition is worth much less.
Allahabad, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Allahabad
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.

Brand, model, size and mileage: “Nike Pegasus 40, UK 9, approx 150 miles”. Mileage in the title is unusual and immediately credible to runners. Always say which sizing system, and mention a wide fitting if it is one, because that is a deliberate search.
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.
