Kochi’s growing IT sector, large student population and frequent relocations create a steady market for second-hand televisions. Whether you have a working smart TV or an older flat-panel gathering dust, here’s how to sell your old TV in Kochi at the best price.

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

Working 32″–43″ smart/LED TV (4–8 years old): ₹2,500–₹7,000

Working older or smaller TV (below 32″ or 8+ years): ₹800–₹2,800

Non-working / scrap: ₹250–₹900 (panel, circuit board, copper)

Smart TVs with Android or built-in streaming support consistently fetch the best prices — Kochi buyers are tech-savvy and actively filter for smart features. 43″ and larger screens sell at a premium to buyers furnishing living rooms in apartments and villas in areas like Edapally, Kakkanad and Palarivattom.

Best ways to sell old TV in Kochi

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is the most active platform for used electronics in Kochi. List under Electronics → Televisions. Specify the size, brand, smart/non-smart, resolution (HD/Full HD/4K) and any included accessories (remote, wall bracket, HDMI cables). Buyers in Ernakulam, Thrippunithura and Kakkanad are quick to respond for quality listings.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify provides free doorstep pickup for old TVs across Kochi. Visit cashify.in → Sell → Television, answer a few questions about the screen size, brand and condition, and book a pickup slot. Payment is made at pickup via cash or UPI.

3. Facebook Marketplace and local groups

Kochi has very active Facebook Marketplace and WhatsApp “Buy/Sell Kochi” groups. These reach a wide local audience quickly and often convert faster than OLX for mid-sized TVs. Post in Ernakulam-area groups for best reach.

4. Electronics scrap dealers

For non-working TVs, search Google Maps for “TV scrap dealer Kochi” or “electronics scrap Ernakulam”. Flat-panel TVs fetch ₹250–₹900 depending on screen size and whether the panel is intact. The main scrap value is the copper wiring and circuit board components.

Tips to get the best price in Kochi

Include the original remote — a working remote is essential for smart TVs; missing remotes cost you ₹300–₹700 in buyer negotiation.
Demonstrate streaming apps — if the TV has Netflix, Prime Video or YouTube built in, showing them working adds visible value over a buyer’s inspection.
Specify your locality — Kochi buyers prefer sellers within Ernakulam, Thrippunithura or Kakkanad belts to avoid long transport of a fragile TV.
Pack carefully for transport — offer to wrap the TV in bubble wrap; buyers prefer sellers who help with safe transport of a fragile screen.
