Selling skate shoes in Dhanbad
Dhanbad is the centre of India’s coal industry and the second-hand market here is overwhelmingly practical. Tools, machinery and durable household goods sell; the market for anything decorative is thin.
Company housing is allotted and given up on transfer and retirement, and a family leaving quarters usually sells nearly everything rather than moving it. Coal dust is the thing to ask about directly: anything with a motor, a fan or a filter that has been stored uncovered here has taken in far more of it than the same item would elsewhere.
The colliery townships have their own gates and their own security, and several are a real drive out from the city proper, so establish which township before agreeing anything. Company quarters generally need the seller to sign a visitor in at the gate rather than simply give out a house number.
Coal dust gets into everything. On anything with a motor, a filter or a bearing, ask how it was stored and expect to clean it thoroughly whatever the answer.
