Selling kids shoes in London
London, Ontario is a mid-sized university and hospital city surrounded by farmland. The student population is large relative to the city, and the academic calendar governs the second-hand market more clearly here than in a bigger centre.
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.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

- Check the insole for a moulded impression
Getting it ready
