Used saxophones in Nanded typically sell for ₹4,350 to ₹25,000 (about $46 to $260). Saxophones hold value well because they last for decades, and pad condition is the main thing separating a playable horn from a project.
Selling a saxophone in Nanded
Nanded is a major Sikh pilgrimage city on the Godavari with a substantial visitor economy and a settled local population. Trade rises and falls with the pilgrimage calendar more than with any other factor.
The langar and the visitor trade keep a standing demand for catering-scale pots, burners and seating that a city this size would not otherwise have, and it comes onto the market in bulk. Away from that, households here stay put for years, so a listing is usually a real clear-out rather than an upgrade.
On goods sold around a pilgrimage period, take time over the inspection. Trade moves quickly then and it is easy to agree to something in a crowd that you would look at more carefully otherwise.
Nanded, 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.
Handing it over in Nanded
Negotiation is normal and expected rather than a sign of a difficult buyer. Price with a little room in it and say whether the price is firm.

Common questions
Where can I sell a saxophone in Nanded?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The old city around the gurudwara is a knot of narrow lanes where a car simply will not go, so anything sizeable has to be walked out to the ring road. The newer colonies across the Godavari are ordinary driving.
When was it last serviced?
Say when and by whom if you know. A serviced sax plays; an unserviced one may need a repad costing a large share of its value.
How much is a saxophone worth in Nanded?
Most used saxophones change hands for ₹4,350 to ₹25,000 (about $46 to $260). Condition and completeness move that figure more than anything else.
