Selling a Game Boy in Richmond
Richmond is built on flat delta islands at sea level, protected by dykes, and it has one of the highest proportions of residents born outside the country of any city in Canada. The international airport sits inside its boundaries, which shapes a great deal of the local economy.
Airport and logistics work turns over on shift and contract cycles, and a highly international population means households are set up and cleared on international moves rather than local ones — which usually means everything goes at once.
The city is completely flat, which makes it one of the easiest places in the region to move anything, and the dyke paths are genuinely useful for cycling. The rapid transit line to the airport is the obvious landmark for a small handover.
Richmond, in British Columbia, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Richmond
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
