Households here are settled and turn over slowly outside the province’s concentrated summer moving season, when the great majority of household goods change hands within a few weeks.
The ferry is genuinely practical for anything you can carry and takes minutes. For furniture the bridges are the only option, so agree which side and allow for the detour rather than assuming the ferry.
If you are crossing from the north bank, plan for the bridge rather than the ferry when collecting anything large. The ferry is quick on foot and no help at all with a sofa.
Levis, in Quebec, has around 145,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Montreal, Quebec City and Laval are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description

Aperture, type and mount: “200mm Newtonian Reflector on EQ5 Mount” or “90mm Refractor Telescope with Tripod”. Aperture in millimetres is the search. Never lead with a magnification figure — experienced buyers treat that as a warning sign.
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.
