Selling a keyboard piano in Columbus
Late summer is extraordinary here: tens of thousands of students move within the same few days, and the volume of furniture put out at once makes it the best buying window of the year. May is the mirror image.
The campus district is compact and much of it is walkable, so small handovers are easy. For furniture, the streets around campus are congested during the moving weeks and a specific time slot matters more than usual.
Furniture sold in the campus moving weeks is priced to disappear, which is the appeal and also the risk. Look at it in daylight if you can, because a great deal changes hands sight-unseen in those few days.
Columbus, in Ohio, has around 905,000 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. Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
