Selling a changing table in Des Moines
Des Moines is the state capital and the insurance and financial centre of the region, with a gold-domed capitol above the city and a national reputation for its state fair. It sits in the middle of intensive farming country.
Insurance and financial employment moves households on relocation cycles, and the agricultural region around the city keeps equipment circulating. Winters are severe enough to give warm clothing a real season.
The city is flat and easy to drive in, and the skywalk system connects much of downtown, which is genuinely useful in winter. Parking is straightforward.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check batteries, seals and hoses. Winters here are severe enough to perish rubber and kill batteries without warning.
Des Moines, in Iowa, has around 215,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
