Selling a kurta in Riverside
Riverside is the largest city of the inland region east of the coastal metropolis, where the navel orange industry began — the original tree is still standing. It has a large university and is a major logistics and warehousing centre.
The university clears student housing each May, and the logistics sector brings contract households in and out. Housing here is cheaper than the coast, so people arriving are often furnishing rather than replacing.
Driving is essential and the freeway network defines travel times. Summer heat inland is considerably worse than on the coast, so agree a morning slot in the hotter months.
Inland heat is much worse than on the coast. On anything stored in a garage, check rubber, adhesives and batteries, none of which survive repeated summers here well.
Riverside, in California, has around 315,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Riverside
