Selling a tool set in St Johns
St John’s is the oldest European-founded city in North America, built on steep streets above a narrow harbour, and its economy has run on fishing and then on offshore oil. The weather here is genuinely severe — fog, wind and rain in quantities that shape how everything is stored.
The downtown streets are steep and narrow and parking on them is limited, so for anything large agree access before the day. Weather closes roads here more often than in most of the country, so agree a fallback.
Damp and salt air are the constants here. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting closely — fog does more damage in this city than either cold or sun.
St Johns, in Newfoundland and Labrador, 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, Montreal and Calgary are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in St Johns
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
