Selling a trench coat in Mangaluru
Mangaluru is the major port on the state’s coast and an unusually well-educated city for its size, with a concentration of professional colleges and a banking history — several of the country’s banks were founded here. Cashew processing, tile making and the port underpin the rest of the economy.
Students arrive for professional courses and leave four or five years later, clearing whole rooms when they go, and a large share of families have members working abroad who send goods back or clear houses when they relocate.
The city runs along the coast and the older centre is dense, so agree a known landmark rather than an address. Monsoon here is genuinely heavy for months, so agree what happens if it is raining hard on the day.
Mangaluru, in Karnataka, has around 500,000 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. Bengaluru, Mysuru and Hubli are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What trench coats are worth
What lifts the price
- Complete with belt, buckle and epaulettes
- Original linings and removable warmers
What pulls it down
- Missing belts, which are difficult to replace
- Water rings and cleaning damage to gabardine
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the collar and cuffs in daylight
- Look at the composition label for gabardine content
Getting it ready
- Find the belt and all its loops, and check the buckle. A missing belt is the commonest fault and a real deduction.
- Check the composition: cotton gabardine, poly blend or wool, and whether there is a removable lining.

Fabric, colour and size: “Cotton Gabardine Trench Coat, Stone, Size 12, Belt Included”. Say “belt included” explicitly — buyers have learned to ask and it separates your listing immediately. Name the colour properly; stone, camel and honey are searched by name.
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.
