Best ways to sell old TV in Mangalore

1. OLX — best for maximum price

OLX is the most commonly used platform for second-hand sales in Mangalore. List under Electronics → Televisions with complete details: brand, screen size, smart/non-smart, resolution and accessories included. Specify your locality (Bejai, Kankanady, Balmatta, Ballalbagh) for buyer convenience.

2. Cashify — instant quote, free pickup

Cashify covers Mangalore with free doorstep pickup. Visit cashify.in → Sell → Television, get an instant quote, and book a pickup slot. Payment via cash or UPI at collection — typically same day or next day.

3. Local second-hand electronics dealers

Mangalore has second-hand electronics shops near Hampankatta and Lalbagh areas that buy working TVs outright. They offer immediate payment but at lower rates than private buyers — a good option if you need cash quickly without waiting for OLX responses.

4. WhatsApp and community groups

Mangalore’s active Catholic and Tulu community WhatsApp groups often have dedicated buy-sell threads. Posting in ward-level or parish groups reaches highly local buyers who can pick up the TV without long-distance transport.

Tips for selling in Mangalore

Highlight streaming app support — Gulf returnees and local buyers actively look for YouTube, Prime Video and Hotstar. Pre-installed apps are a major selling point in Mangalore.
Include wall bracket if mounted — a TV with the mounting bracket included saves the buyer a ₹400–₹800 purchase, making your listing more attractive.
Specify Kerala channel support — Mangalore is near the Kerala border and Malyalee content like Asianet and Surya TV accessibility is relevant for some buyers.
Photograph the screen powered on — a live photo showing a clear, bright screen is the fastest way to address buyer concern about display quality.
