Selling a socket set in Wrexham
Wrexham is the largest town in north Wales, with a university, a brewing history and a football club that became internationally known after being bought by two actors. It sits close to the English border with a large industrial estate that dates from the war.
The university clears student housing each summer, and the industrial estate brings contract households in and out. Cross-border commuting keeps people moving in both directions.
Nearly everything is within a short drive of the centre, so a buyer will usually come to you rather than haggle over meeting halfway. The football ground and the town centre are the landmarks everyone knows.
Wrexham, in Wales, has around 65,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Cardiff, Swansea and Newport are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

- Ratchet condition and case condition
Heavy for its size, so weigh the case before quoting postage. Tape the case shut, because a socket set that opens in transit arrives as a bag of loose sockets.
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.
