Kolkata’s large, value-conscious population keeps the second-hand TV market healthy, particularly before festive season. Here’s how to sell your old TV in Kolkata quickly and at the best price.

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

Working LED/LCD (32″–43″, 4–8 years old): ₹2,500–₹6,800

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

Not working / scrap: ₹300–₹1,000

Kolkata buyers are price-conscious but volume is healthy, especially before Durga Puja when many households upgrade. Mid-size smart TVs (32″–43″) sell fastest.

Best ways to sell old TV in Kolkata

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is the dominant platform for used TVs in Kolkata. List under Electronics & Appliances → TV, Video & Audio and specify your area (Salt Lake, New Town, Howrah, Jadavpur, Ballygunge). Kolkata buyers negotiate, so price 10–15% above your target minimum.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify serves Kolkata and Howrah with free home pickup for old TVs. Get an instant quote at cashify.in → Sell → Television and book a pickup slot. Payment by cash or UPI on the day of collection.

3. Scrap / e-waste dealers

For dead or very old TVs, Kolkata’s “loha-pathar” and e-waste dealers buy the panel, board and metal. Search Google Maps for “TV scrap dealer Kolkata” or “e-waste buyer near me”. A non-working flat-panel fetches ₹300–₹1,000; old CRT TVs only ₹100–₹300.

4. Exchange when buying new

Reliance Digital and Croma in Kolkata offer TV exchange programmes, especially before Durga Puja. The exchange discount (₹1,500–₹4,000) is convenient but typically lower than OLX — compare before deciding.

Tips for selling in Kolkata

Sell before Durga Puja — the pre-Puja period is peak time for appliance and TV upgrades in Kolkata.
Specify area clearly — Kolkata and Howrah are split by the Hooghly; buyers prefer not to cross it for a fragile screen.
Keep the box and remote — safer transport and higher value.
Show it working — a photo of the TV displaying content reassures buyers about the panel.
