Chennai’s large base of families, students and IT professionals keeps the second-hand TV market active year-round. Here’s how to sell your old TV in Chennai quickly and at the best price.

How much can you get for an old TV in Chennai?

Working LED/LCD (32″–43″, 4–8 years old): ₹2,800–₹7,500

Working smaller/older TV (24″–32″ or 8+ years): ₹1,000–₹3,300

Smaller TVs (32″ and below) are in demand for PG and bachelor accommodation near IT corridors like OMR and Sholinganallur, while larger smart TVs sell well to families in Anna Nagar and Velachery.

Best ways to sell old TV in Chennai

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is active across Chennai — Anna Nagar, T. Nagar, Velachery, Adyar and OMR. List under Electronics & Appliances → TV, Video & Audio with brand, screen size, resolution and a working-demo photo. Chennai buyers negotiate, so price slightly above your minimum.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify covers most of Chennai with free home pickup for old TVs. Get an instant quote at cashify.in → Sell → Television, book a slot, and receive payment on pickup day via cash or UPI.

3. Scrap / e-waste dealers

For dead or very old TVs, Chennai’s e-waste dealers and “iron kadai” buy the panel, board and metal. Search Google Maps for “TV scrap dealer Chennai” or “e-waste buyer near me”. A non-working flat-panel fetches ₹300–₹1,100; old CRT TVs only ₹100–₹350.

4. Exchange when buying new

Vijay Sales, Poorvika and Reliance Digital in Chennai offer TV exchange discounts of ₹1,500–₹4,500. Amazon and Flipkart exchange offers during sales are also worth comparing against OLX.

Tips for selling in Chennai

Target the OMR student belt — smaller 24″–32″ TVs sell fast to PG residents and bachelors.
Show it working — a photo of the TV displaying a channel or app reassures buyers about panel condition.
Highlight smart features — built-in streaming apps are a strong draw for second-hand buyers.
List before Pongal and festive season — demand for TVs rises around major festivals.
