Price it right. Sell 3× faster.

A quick guide to setting a price that gets your phone ringing — without leaving money on the table.

Price it right
The 80/20

Three rules that beat everything else

STEP 01

Anchor to comparables

Search DTClassified for 5 listings of the same item in similar condition. Take the average. Set yours 5–10% below it for a fast sell, at it for a fair sell.

STEP 02

Round down, not up

₹45,000 gets 22% more clicks than ₹46,500. Buyers filter at round numbers. Set your price just below the next bracket.

STEP 03

Leave room to bargain

Indian buyers expect to negotiate. Price 5–8% above your real walk-away number. Mark the listing 'negotiable' — closes 2× faster.
