Selling a drum kit in Markham
Markham is the corporate technology centre of the region, with a concentration of hardware and software head offices that rivals anywhere in the country, and one of the most diverse populations in Canada. It is suburban in form but not in economy, and the housing is largely newer family stock.
This is a car suburb and almost everything is a plaza or a residential street, so a named plaza is a better meeting point than an address. Winter parking bans apply on residential streets overnight, which matters if you are collecting something large.
On home-office equipment, ask whether it came from a company refresh or a household. Corporate hardware here is often barely used and well specified, but it has also usually run continuously rather than occasionally.
Markham, in Ontario, has around 340,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Markham
