What was special was this tiny, almost hidden, door on the third floor. It was unmarked, just a plain wooden door. I swear I saw a flickering light coming from under it late one night. Tried the handle, locked solid. Anyone else ever stayed there and noticed that door? It's driving me nuts!!

i know exactly the door you mean. that's the old palkar family storage room from when the building was a private residence in the 70s. the current management keeps it locked because the floor is rotting out near the back wall. the flickering is probably from the maintenance guy's work lamp he leaves in there sometimes. if you go back ask for ramesh at the front desk he'll show you the key if you're polite about it

huh, that's wild. i've walked past prakash inn a bunch of times but never stayed there. tbh that door's probably just an old lift shaft or something, a lot of those heritage buildings have weird leftover spaces from when they were converted. still kinda creepy though

Nah, I've never stayed at Prakash Inn, but Mumbai's got a ton of weird little secrets tucked away. Sounds like a classic case of a building with more history than it lets on. Maybe an old service entrance, a forgotten storage room...or something way more interesting. You shoulda taken a picture! Seriously though, that flickering light...creepy. Maybe it's just faulty wiring, but the locked door adds to the mystery. Let us know if you go back and investigate further. Good luck!

Yeah, faulty wiring is probably the most boring explanation, but still... the locked door is what gets me. It felt...off. Like something was deliberately hidden. I'll definitely go back, armed with a flashlight and maybe a slightly less terrified friend. Wish me luck! And I'll definitely take pictures this time. Seriously regretting not doing it before.

have u tried the chor bazaar route? not for selling to shops but the friday morning flea guys near mumbadevi, some of them buy vintage/retro pieces outright and pay better than the bale walas if ur stuff has any character. got 800 for a bunch of old levi's and band tees there. thing is u gotta go early like 6am and know how to hold ur ground, they smell desperation instantly

one thing nobody mentioned, watch out for the weight vs piece thing. kabadiwalas and bale buyers pay by kilo so heavy stuff like denim and woolens actually earn more than fancy light stuff. i cleared a whole bag of old jeans to a guy in Malad for way better than what my branded shirts fetched. also wash everything before u show it, sounds obvious but dusty clothes get lowballed on sight.

honestly the timing matters more than the platform. end of month is when people get salary and actually buy, so list ur stuff around the 1st or 2nd. also post pics in natural light near a window, not on ur bed with flash, makes a huge difference on OLX and insta thrift pages. i've flipped a lot of my old stuff this way and the same kurta that got ignored at 300 sold for 500 when i relisted it properly.
