Selling camping gear in Quebec City
Quebec City is French-speaking, historic and has severe winters with heavy snowfall. The old quarters have narrow streets and steep access, and the local market runs largely in French, which is worth knowing before you list.
Winter sports equipment follows a sharp seasonal cycle, appearing in spring and selling through autumn. Household turnover is slower than in the larger Canadian cities because more people stay put.
Access in the older parts of the city is genuinely awkward for a vehicle, and snow makes it harder for several months. A listing written in French will reach considerably more local buyers than one written only in English.
Quebec City, in Quebec, has around 550,000 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. Montreal, Laval and Gatineau are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Quebec City
