Used knife sets in Edmonton typically sell for C$28 to C$190 (about $20 to $135). Knives sell well and carry real legal weight: it is an offence to sell a bladed article to anyone under 18, and most carriers restrict or refuse them, so read your carrier’s rules before you promise postage.
Selling a knife set in Edmonton
Edmonton has some of the coldest winters of any major North American city and an economy built on energy and services. Serious winter clothing is a necessity rather than a seasonal purchase, and indoor hobbies and equipment have a correspondingly deep market.
Energy employment drives the larger cycle and the university adds an academic one. Anything for the outdoors moves in a short, intense summer window and then vanishes for the rest of the year.
Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.
Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edmonton
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
