Selling an e-reader in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
