Selling trading cards in Gwalior
Gwalior is a historic fort city with a long musical tradition and a settled administrative economy. Instruments and traditional items have a real local audience, and household turnover is slower than in the industrial cities.
Government postings and the student population drive most of the movement. The dry climate is easier on stored goods than the coastal cities, though summer heat is severe.
The old city around the fort is congested while the newer areas are open and easy to drive. Establishing which of the two you are heading for saves time.
Gwalior, in Madhya Pradesh, has around 1.1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Indore, Bhopal and Jabalpur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Gwalior
