Selling a tool set in Surat
Surat cuts and polishes a very large share of the world’s diamonds and runs an enormous textile industry alongside it. It has a big migrant workforce, and household goods circulate quickly as people arrive and move on.
The workforce is highly mobile and households are frequently set up and broken down within a couple of years. That keeps practical goods, particularly appliances and furniture, in constant supply at sensible prices.
The city is compact for its population and reasonably easy to drive, so collection is straightforward. Most handovers happen at home rather than at a neutral point.
On appliances that have moved between rented rooms several times, check the parts that get handled — hinges, seals and knobs. Those wear long before the motor does.
Surat, in Gujarat, has around 4.5 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Rajkot are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
