Used wedding bands in Allahabad typically sell for ₹5,000 to ₹45,000 (about $54 to $470). Plain bands are valued mostly on metal, which makes them one of the more straightforward pieces of jewellery to price.
Selling a wedding band in Allahabad
Allahabad is a historic city at the confluence of the rivers, with a major university and an enormous population of students preparing for competitive examinations. Books and study furniture dominate the second-hand market.
The examination cycle governs everything: candidates arrive, study and leave, selling books and furniture as they go. Those departure windows are when supply and value are both at their best.
The older parts of the city are congested and the university area is concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip practical. Bicycle and two-wheeler handovers are the norm.
Study materials sold at the end of a preparation cycle are excellent value, but check editions and for missing pages. Syllabuses change and an outdated edition is worth much less.
Allahabad, in Uttar 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. Lucknow, Kanpur and Ghaziabad are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Metal, width and size: “9ct Gold Wedding Band, 4mm, Size P, Hallmarked”. Metal purity, width and size are all searches. If there is an engraved inscription inside, say so — some buyers mind and some do not, but all want to know before it arrives.
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.
