Selling sneakers in Patna
The examination calendar governs almost everything: students arrive, study for a year or two and leave, selling their books and furniture on the way out. Those windows are the best buying opportunities of the year.
The city is congested and the roads along the river are the main arteries, so timing matters more than distance. Most handovers are arranged at home or at a well-known landmark.
Books sold at the end of an examination cycle are excellent value but check for damp and for missing pages. Both are common in shared study accommodation and neither shows in a photograph.
Patna, in Bihar, has around 1.7 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gaya, Muzaffarpur and Bihar Sharif are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Patna
India’s second-hand market runs heavily through direct conversation — buyers expect to message, negotiate and ask questions before committing, and a listing that answers those questions up front sells noticeably faster than one that does not.

- Search sold listings for that exact style code and size
Getting it ready

Brand, model and size with the sizing system: “Nike Air Max 90, UK 9, White/Grey”. Sneaker buyers search by model name and colourway, so both belong in the title. Always state whether the size is UK, US or EU — the commonest cause of a returned pair is a sizing system mix-up.
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.
