Second-hand home & garden in Richmond, Virginia typically sells for $4 to $605. Natural materials keep their money and synthetic imitations lose theirs quickly, which shows most clearly in rugs and curtains. Neutral shades sell steadily while a strong colour narrows the buyers to whoever wants exactly that.
Buying home & garden in Richmond
Richmond is the state capital, on the fall line of the river, with a great deal of preserved historic architecture and a long tobacco manufacturing past. It has a large urban university and a strong contemporary arts scene.
Mirrors, glass and ceramics are among the worst things to send by courier, and the packing costs more than the item is often worth. Carrying something home yourself is both cheaper and very much safer.
What to check in person

Collecting it in Richmond
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The older neighbourhoods have narrow streets and row housing with limited parking, so confirm where a vehicle can stop. The river divides the city, so agree which side.
