Buying bags & handbags 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.
A bag is easy to carry and easy to assess, so it suits a face-to-face sale better than almost anything else. Buyers want to feel the weight of the leather and open every pocket, and thirty seconds of that answers more than a dozen photographs.
What to check in person
Turn out the pockets and feel along the base for a sagging or broken board, which is what makes a bag lose its shape for good. Look at the hardware for plating worn back to base metal, and smell the lining for damp or smoke.
Collecting it in London
It fits in a bag, so most people meet on the way to something else. A station or a high street works, and neither side needs a car.
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.

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.
Empty it completely and wipe the lining out before anybody sees it, since crumbs and old receipts undo an otherwise good impression. Be straightforward about corner wear and marks, which every experienced buyer checks before anything else. Steady through the year, with a lift in autumn as people move back to structured bags.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
