Used video games in Varanasi typically sell for ₹650 to ₹5,000 (about $7 to $54). Individual games range from pennies to serious collector sums, and the difference is almost always the specific title rather than the platform.
Selling video games in Varanasi
Varanasi is among the oldest living cities in the world, with a silk weaving tradition that has run for centuries and a constant flow of pilgrims and visitors. Textiles and traditional crafts define what is distinctive here.
Pilgrimage and tourism drive a good deal of the trade and both are seasonal. Humidity near the river is high and is hard on textiles and paper stored without care.
The lanes of the old city are too narrow for vehicles and genuinely difficult to navigate, so anything large has to be collected from the edge of them. The newer parts of the city are straightforward.
On silk, ask whether it is handloom or powerloom and check the weave in daylight. The difference is substantial in value and the trade here is old enough that honest sellers will say.
