Selling militaria in London
London, Ontario is a mid-sized university and hospital city surrounded by farmland. The student population is large relative to the city, and the academic calendar governs the second-hand market more clearly here than in a bigger centre.
Leases across the student areas turn over together at the end of the academic year, and that window puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined. Winter here is cold enough to slow everything down.
Easy to drive and easy to park, so collection is straightforward year-round apart from the depths of winter. The student districts are concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip realistic.
London, in Ontario, has around 425,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.
