Energy employment moves households in and out in waves rather than steadily, and a downturn puts a great deal of good equipment onto the market at once. Outdoor gear follows a sharp seasonal cycle on top of that.
The city is easy to drive and parking is generous, so collecting large items is straightforward for most of the year. Between December and March, weather rather than logistics is the limiting factor.
On ski bindings, ask the age and whether a shop will still adjust and test them. Older bindings are frequently past the indemnified list, which quietly makes them worth much less than they look.
Calgary, in Alberta, has around 1.3 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Edmonton, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.

Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
