Selling a tool set in Dehradun
Dehradun sits in the foothills with a mild climate, a long-established cluster of boarding schools and a growing retirement population. School equipment and books move on the academic calendar, and the climate is gentle on stored goods.
Boarding school terms drive an unusually clear cycle, and the retirement population produces a steady supply of well-kept household goods. Winters are cool enough for warm clothing to have a real market.
The city is manageable to drive though the hill roads out of it are a genuine distance. Traffic in the centre is heavy at school opening and closing times.
On school and boarding equipment sold at the end of term, check for name marks and for wear at the corners. Neither is a fault, but both should be reflected in the price.
Dehradun, in Uttarakhand, has around 630,000 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. Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
