Selling a suit in Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay is the port at the head of the Great Lakes, where prairie grain has been loaded onto ships for over a century, and it is the largest city for a very long way in any direction. Winter here is severe and the isolation is real rather than rhetorical.
Forestry, port work and the university all turn people over on their own cycles. Because shipping anything in is costly, goods circulate locally for far longer here than they would in a larger market.
Driving is essential and the city has two distinct centres from its amalgamation, so agree which one. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is exactly why buying locally matters more here than in the south.
Thunder Bay, in Ontario, has around 110,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Thunder Bay
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.

- Very dated cuts and lapel widths
Working out what yours is worth

- Hold it to the light to check for moth holes
Getting it ready
- Measure the jacket shoulders, chest and length, and the trouser waist, inside leg and rise.
- Inspect the lining, the crotch seam and the seat, and have it dry-cleaned if it looks tired.
