Used textbooks in Hubli typically sell for ₹150 to ₹550 (about $2 to $6). Textbook value collapses the moment a new edition appears, which makes timing more important here than condition.
Selling textbooks in Hubli
Hubli is a commercial and railway hub serving a large agricultural region, practical in character and busy with trade. Household goods and equipment circulate steadily, driven by commerce rather than industry.
This is the railway headquarters for the whole region, so transfers move salaried households on a posting calendar and they sell up completely when the orders come. The cotton and produce trade around the city puts commercial weighing and handling equipment into private hands as well.
On anything bought from the agricultural trade, ask about hours of use rather than age. Equipment here works seasonally but works hard when it does.
Hubli, in Karnataka, has around 900,000 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. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Mangaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Hubli
UPI has largely replaced cash for in-person handovers and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. Cash on delivery is still widely expected for anything posted, and it is worth deciding your position on it before you list.

Common questions
Where can I sell textbooks in Hubli?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Hubli and Dharwad are twin cities run as one municipality but a genuine drive apart, and a listing naming either can mean the other, so settle which before you set out. The bus terminal is the reference point everyone uses in between.
How much highlighting is there?
Flick through and photograph a representative page. Some students prefer annotated copies, so honesty here does not cost you the sale.
