Selling ski gear in Nanaimo
Nanaimo is the second city of the island and the main ferry crossing point to the mainland, built on a harbour with a coal-mining past. It is a jumping-off point for the rest of the island, and the marine economy here is ordinary rather than recreational.
Retirement and downsizing supply a great deal of well-kept furniture, and the ferry connection means people moving to or from the mainland sell up rather than pay to ship things across.
If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the ferry schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a drive. A missed sailing is a two-hour problem, not a ten-minute one.
Nanaimo, in British Columbia, has around 100,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Nanaimo
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Common questions
Where can I sell ski gear in Nanaimo?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The ferry terminals and the harbour are the landmarks everyone uses. If either of you is crossing from the mainland, build the sailing schedule into the arrangement rather than treating it as a short drive.
What size are the boots?
Give the mondopoint number from the boot, not a shoe size. Mondopoint is how ski boots are actually sized.
