Selling a play kitchen in San Jose
San Jose sits at the centre of Silicon Valley, where incomes are high and equipment gets replaced long before it stops working. Computer hardware, monitors and desk setups here are typically newer and better specified than the price would suggest anywhere else.
Tech hiring and layoff cycles move people in and out, and a departure from the valley usually means selling up rather than shipping across the country. Home-office equipment is the category that most reliably appears.
The valley is built for driving and collection is straightforward, with parking available almost everywhere outside the immediate downtown. Distances between the south and north ends of the valley are longer than they look on a map.
San Jose, in California, has around 970,000 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. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in San Jose
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
