Used trench coats in Kollam typically sell for ₹3,200 to ₹14,000 (about $34 to $150). Trench coats sell on fabric and completeness, and the thing buyers check first is whether the belt is still with it — a beltless trench is worth substantially less.
Selling a trench coat in Kollam
Kollam is the cashew processing capital of the country and sits on a large backwater lake, with coir and fishing alongside the nut trade. It is an old port city with a long history of trade well beyond the region.
Cashew processing runs on a season and employs a large workforce that scales up and down with it. Gulf migration adds the same clear-the-house pattern seen across the state.
The lake and the main road along it are the obvious reference points. Monsoon months make outdoor handovers difficult, so agree somewhere covered or plan around the weather.
Kollam, in Kerala, has around 400,000 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. Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Kollam
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.

Peaks in early autumn and again in spring, since a trench is a between-seasons coat. Midwinter listings sell slowly.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
