Selling an electronic drum kit in San Jose

San Jose sits at the centre of Silicon Valley, where incomes are high and equipment gets replaced long before it stops working. Computer hardware, monitors and desk setups here are typically newer and better specified than the price would suggest anywhere else.

Tech hiring and layoff cycles move people in and out, and a departure from the valley usually means selling up rather than shipping across the country. Home-office equipment is the category that most reliably appears.

The valley is built for driving and collection is straightforward, with parking available almost everywhere outside the immediate downtown. Distances between the south and north ends of the valley are longer than they look on a map.

For computer hardware, ask its age and whether it was under load continuously. Ex-office and ex-datacentre equipment is often excellent value but has run far more hours than a home machine of the same year.

Handing it over in San Jose

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
