Selling a fridge in Thunder Bay
Forestry, port work and the university all turn people over on their own cycles. Because shipping anything in is costly, goods circulate locally for far longer here than they would in a larger market. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
Driving is essential and the city has two distinct centres from its amalgamation, so agree which one. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is exactly why buying locally matters more here than in the south.
Because freight from the south is slow and costly, check that any parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Thunder Bay, in Ontario, has around 110,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
