Selling a desktop PC in Reno
Reno sits at the foot of the mountains on the edge of the high desert, with a casino economy that has been substantially supplemented by logistics and technology as companies have moved east from the coast. The lake and the ski resorts are close.
Technology and logistics relocations have brought a wave of households in from the coast, and the university clears student housing each May. Ski and outdoor equipment turns over on a genuine season.
Driving is assumed and the city is compact. Mountain passes close in winter storms, which matters if either of you is coming over them, so agree a fallback.
On ski and snowboard gear, check the bindings and boot soles rather than the topsheet. Those have a service life regardless of appearance, and shops will refuse to mount old bindings.

And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
