Selling sunglasses in Albuquerque
Albuquerque sits at altitude in high desert with intense sun and a large outdoor recreation culture. Camping and hiking gear moves well, and sun damage is the single most useful thing to check on anything that has been stored outside.
The city is easy to drive with generous parking, and the grid makes directions simple. Altitude and dry air are worth mentioning for anything with rubber seals or adhesive that has sat unused for years.
Sun and dry air are the local hazards. Check rubber seals, adhesives and plastics on anything that has been stored for years, because they perish here faster than the item’s condition otherwise suggests.
Albuquerque, in New Mexico, has around 560,000 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. New York, Los Angeles and Chicago are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
