How much can you get for an old microwave in Coimbatore?

Working convection (2–5 years): ₹2,000–₹5,000

Working solo/grill (2–6 years): ₹1,200–₹3,500

Not working / scrap: ₹200–₹700

In Coimbatore, solo and convection ovens from LG, Samsung and IFB sell fastest as families and students around Gandhipuram and Peelamedu want affordable kitchen upgrades. A clean, tested unit with accessories usually sells within a few days.

Best ways to sell old microwave in Coimbatore

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX gives you the widest buyer base in Coimbatore. List under Electronics & Appliances with clear photos and your locality — buyers in Gandhipuram, RS Puram and Peelamedu prefer nearby pickups to keep things easy. Mention the brand, type and that it’s tested working.

2. Quikr & local groups

Quikr still works for appliances, but Coimbatore’s apartment WhatsApp groups and Facebook buy-sell pages (active around RS Puram and Peelamedu) often sell faster with no commission. Post in your residents’ group first — neighbours trust local sellers and pickup is instant.

3. Second-hand appliance dealers & scrap

Used-appliance dealers around Gandhipuram and the shops near RS Puram buy working microwaves for resale and pay on the spot, though a bit below OLX rates. For a dead unit, a local kabadiwala or Coimbatore e-waste collector takes it for ₹200–₹700 — never dump electronics with regular trash.

4. Exchange when buying new

Upgrading? Croma and Reliance Digital stores across Coimbatore, plus Amazon and Flipkart exchange offers, let you trade in the old microwave for an instant discount. Convenient, though exchange value is usually lower than a direct OLX sale.

Tips for selling in Coimbatore

Deep-clean it: wipe grease off the cavity and door glass — Coimbatore buyers inspect hygiene closely.
Keep the manual and tray: the turntable and grill rack clearly raise resale value.
Show it heating: demo a cup of water boiling so Gandhipuram and Peelamedu buyers trust it on the first visit.
Price realistically: check live OLX Coimbatore listings for your model and price within range to sell within days.
