Selling Pokemon cards in Denver
Gear turns over on a seasonal cycle that is unusually sharp here: ski equipment floods the market in spring and disappears by November, and camping gear does the reverse. Timing a purchase against that is worth real money.
The grid layout and generous parking make collection easy, and most of the metro is reachable within half an hour outside rush hour. Altitude and dry air are worth mentioning for anything with seals or adhesives that has been stored a long time.

Denver, in Colorado, has around 715,000 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. Colorado Springs, Aurora and Fort Collins are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
