Selling model kits in Augusta
Augusta sits on the river at the state line and is known worldwide for a golf tournament held here each April, alongside a substantial military installation and a growing cybersecurity sector built around it.
Military and cyber postings move complete households on fixed cycles. Golf equipment circulates here far more than in comparable cities, and tournament week produces its own annual turnover of rental furnishings.
Tournament week transforms the city entirely — accommodation, traffic and parking all change — so avoid it if you can. The rest of the year driving and parking are both easy.
Avoid tournament week entirely if you can. Accommodation, traffic and parking all change completely for those days and a simple collection becomes genuinely difficult.
Augusta, in Georgia, has around 200,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Atlanta, Macon and New York are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
