Selling a silver necklace in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
The grid layout and light traffic mean collection is genuinely simple here, and most of the metropolitan area is within half an hour of the centre. Parking is easy by the standards of the bigger capitals, so furniture pickups are uncomplicated.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Adelaide, in South Australia, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
