Selling a sweatshirt in Waterloo
Waterloo is the university half of the twin-city region, with an engineering and computer science school that feeds the surrounding technology sector and a large insurance industry alongside it. The student population is enormous relative to the city’s size and the co-op terms mean it turns over several times a year rather than once.
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.
