Selling a socket set in Atlanta
Atlanta has become a major film and television production centre alongside its role as a transport and corporate hub, and production equipment circulates here as a result. It also absorbs a great deal of in-migration, which keeps furniture moving.
Production work is project-based and gear appears between jobs. Steady in-migration means arriving households are furnishing and departing ones are selling at more or less all times of year.
Traffic is the defining constraint and the metro is large, so which side of the perimeter you are each on matters more than the mileage. Parking is easy outside the immediate centre.
Atlanta, in Georgia, has around 500,000 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. Augusta, Macon and New York are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Atlanta

Do the ratchets work smoothly?
Test both directions on each ratchet. A slipping ratchet is the usual fault and it is worth disclosing.
