Used tennis rackets in Allahabad typically sell for ₹550 to ₹7,000 (about $6 to $73). Rackets have a hidden shelf life: the graphite frame loses stiffness over years even if the racket looks new.
Selling a tennis racket in Allahabad
Allahabad is a historic city at the confluence of the rivers, with a major university and an enormous population of students preparing for competitive examinations. Books and study furniture dominate the second-hand market.
The examination cycle governs everything: candidates arrive, study and leave, selling books and furniture as they go. Those departure windows are when supply and value are both at their best.
The older parts of the city are congested and the university area is concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip practical. Bicycle and two-wheeler handovers are the norm.
Study materials sold at the end of a preparation cycle are excellent value, but check editions and for missing pages. Syllabuses change and an outdated edition is worth much less.
