Selling a socket set in Markham
Markham is the corporate technology centre of the region, with a concentration of hardware and software head offices that rivals anywhere in the country, and one of the most diverse populations in Canada. It is suburban in form but not in economy, and the housing is largely newer family stock.
Technology work moves people in and out on project cycles, and home offices get reconfigured constantly as a result. Family housing turns over on a slower school-year rhythm, which is when the larger furniture appears.
This is a car suburb and almost everything is a plaza or a residential street, so a named plaza is a better meeting point than an address. Winter parking bans apply on residential streets overnight, which matters if you are collecting something large.
Markham, in Ontario, has around 340,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
