Selling a socket set in Vancouver
Vancouver sits on the north bank of the river directly across from a much larger city in the neighbouring state, and a great many residents cross the bridges to work. It has no state income tax while its neighbour has no sales tax, which shapes local shopping habits.
The shared labour market across the river means households move between the two states constantly. Outdoor equipment turns over steadily given the mountains and the gorge nearby.
The bridges are the constraint here rather than the distance, and they congest badly at peak times, so agree which side and a realistic window. Rain is frequent, so agree a covered spot.
Vancouver, in Washington, has around 190,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
