Co-op terms are the defining rhythm here: students move in and out several times a year rather than annually, so desks, monitors and bikes come onto the market on a cycle measured in months. Prices drop sharply in the last week of a term.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
In the last week of a co-op term, look at the item in person if you can. A great deal changes hands very fast here at that point, and speed is exactly when the obvious check gets skipped.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
