4. Facebook Marketplace and local groups

Kolkata Facebook Marketplace and neighbourhood buy/sell groups (e.g., Salt Lake, New Town resident groups) have very active listings for used home appliances.

Tips for selling in Kolkata

Pre-summer listing is best — April–June demand peaks as Kolkata’s humidity makes refrigerators essential.
Specify if it handles frequent power cuts — Kolkata buyers value fridges with good insulation that keep things cool during outages.
Include your floor number — older buildings in Kolkata often lack lifts, which is a practical concern for buyers.
