Leases across the student areas turn over together at the end of the academic year, and that window puts more furniture on the market than the rest of the year combined. Winter here is cold enough to slow everything down.
Easy to drive and easy to park, so collection is straightforward year-round apart from the depths of winter. The student districts are concentrated, which makes collecting several items in one trip realistic.
Furniture sold in the end-of-term rush is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and the risk. Look at upholstered items in daylight, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in that fortnight.
London, in Ontario, has around 425,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What electric guitars are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised makers and models with an established following
- The original case, especially on older instruments
What pulls it down
- Neck warp or a truss rod that has run out of adjustment
- Replaced pickups or tuners where originals are expected
Working out what yours is worth
- Sight down the neck from the headstock to check for relief or twist
- Play every fret listening for buzzing or dead notes
Getting it ready
- Plug it in and test both pickups, every switch position, and all volume and tone controls for crackle.
- Note whether anything has been modified — replacement pickups, tuners or bridge — because buyers care and will spot it.
