Used socket sets in Pune typically sell for ₹1,900 to ₹11,500 (about $20 to $120). Socket sets are valued by completeness, because buyers count the pieces against the case moulding.
Selling a socket set in Pune
Pune is a university city and an automotive and technology centre, with one of the largest student populations in the country and a noticeably pleasant climate. Study furniture, two-wheelers and laptops are the things that reliably move.
The academic year governs a great deal of the turnover, with student accommodation emptying and refilling on a fixed cycle. Technology employment adds a second, less seasonal flow on top of it.
Two-wheelers are the normal way to get around and small handovers are simple. The city has grown quickly and the outer technology areas are a long way from the centre, so agreeing a side of the city matters.
Pune, in Maharashtra, has around 3.1 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Mumbai, Nagpur and Thane are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Pune
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.

Heavy for its size, so weigh the case before quoting postage. Tape the case shut, because a socket set that opens in transit arrives as a bag of loose sockets.
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.
