Selling a varsity jacket in Patna
The examination calendar governs almost everything: students arrive, study for a year or two and leave, selling their books and furniture on the way out. Those windows are the best buying opportunities of the year.
The city is congested and the roads along the river are the main arteries, so timing matters more than distance. Most handovers are arranged at home or at a well-known landmark.

Patna, in Bihar, has around 1.7 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gaya, Muzaffarpur and Bihar Sharif are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Patna
