Selling running shoes in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.
Ask where the item spent the monsoon. Months of heavy rain and constant humidity here are hard on electronics, upholstery and anything wooden, and mould damage is not worth any discount.
Mangaluru, in Karnataka, has around 500,000 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. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

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.
What running shoes are worth

What pulls it down
- Compressed midsole foam, which ends the shoe’s useful life
- Worn outsole tread, especially at the heel strike
Working out what yours is worth
- Press the midsole to check it still rebounds
- Photograph the outsole tread, especially the heel
Getting it ready

Put in the description
- Brand, exact model and version number
- Size with the sizing system, and any width fitting
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.
