Selling a tote bag in Kanpur
Industrial employment keeps tools and equipment circulating steadily. Household turnover is slower than in the faster-growing cities, so furniture that appears is usually a genuine clear-out.
The city is congested and the industrial areas are separate from the residential ones, so it is worth establishing which you are heading for. Driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial.

Kanpur, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Ghaziabad and Agra are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
