Military rotations put entire households onto the market, most often in summer, and departing families sell rather than ship. Salt air is a genuine check worth making on anything metal that has lived near the water.
The city is flat and spread along the coast, so agreeing roughly where along it you are saves a long drive. Parking is easy outside the beachfront in season.

Virginia Beach, in Virginia, has around 460,000 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. Chesapeake, Norfolk and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
