Selling an e-reader in Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne sits at the meeting of three rivers and has a long manufacturing history, particularly in electrical equipment and defence electronics. It is the second-largest city in its state and the regional centre for a wide agricultural area.
Manufacturing employment moves households on order and contract cycles and left tooling in private hands. Housing is inexpensive, so people are often furnishing rather than replacing.
The city is flat and easy to drive in with straightforward parking, so anything large is simple. The rivers divide the city, so agree which side.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check for rust and for splitting on glued joints. Freeze-thaw here works on everything left outside a heated space.
Fort Wayne, in Indiana, has around 265,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Indianapolis, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Fort Wayne
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Brand, model and features: “Kobo Clara HD E-Reader, 6in, Front Light, 8GB”. Brand matters because each is tied to its own store and format support. Say whether it takes EPUB, which is a genuine differentiator for buyers with existing libraries.
