Selling a drum kit in Albany
Albany is the oldest European settlement in the state, on a deep natural harbour on the cold southern coast. It was a whaling port for well over a century and it is where the first convoys left from, so the town carries a great deal of history for its size. The climate here is cool and wet rather than typically Australian.
The town is small and driving is easy, though it is spread around the harbour so agreeing which side saves time. Weather changes quickly on this coast, so plan for loading in the rain.
This coast is cold and wet, so ask where the item was kept. Damp does more damage here than sun does, and it shows up in fabric, particle board and anything with a motor.
Albany, in Western Australia, has around 35,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Perth, Bunbury and Geraldton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Albany
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
