Used textbooks in Rajkot 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 Rajkot
Rajkot is an engineering and casting centre, long established in machine parts and components. It is a practical, business-minded city where tools and equipment have a knowledgeable market and decorative goods have a thinner one.
Manufacturing employment keeps equipment moving steadily. Household turnover is slower and more settled, so furniture that appears has usually been owned for a long time and looked after.
On machine parts and tools, ask what they came off and how many hours they have done. Sellers here generally know precisely, and hours matter far more than age.
Rajkot, in Gujarat, has around 1.3 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Rajkot
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.

Common questions
Where can I sell textbooks in Rajkot?
List it free and agree the handover with the buyer between you. Roads are wide and traffic is light for the city’s size, so collecting heavy items is genuinely easy here. Most handovers are arranged directly at home or at a workshop.
Which edition is it?
Read it from the copyright page. A course requiring the 12th edition has no use for the 11th, whatever the price.
