Used cabin bags in Kamloops typically sell for C$38 to C$160 (about $27 to $115). Cabin bags live or die on exact external dimensions, because airline limits differ and a bag that fits one carrier is refused at the gate by another.
Selling a cabin bag in Kamloops
Kamloops sits where two rivers meet in dry, open interior country that is close to semi-desert, and it is a rail and highway hub for the whole region. It calls itself the tournament capital for the volume of sport it hosts, and it has a university and a real ranching hinterland.
The university clears student housing each spring, and outdoor equipment turns over constantly because the riding, hunting and ski seasons here are all genuinely used rather than aspirational.
The city is spread across river valleys and hillsides, so agree the neighbourhood rather than a general area. Driving is essential and the hills mean access is worth checking for anything heavy.
The climate here is dry enough to crack timber and perish rubber. Check anything wooden for splitting and anything with seals or tyres for perishing, even on items that were barely used.
Kamloops, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
