Selling a tool set in Worcester
Worcester is the second-largest city in its state and the centre of its region, with a remarkable number of colleges for its size, a substantial medical school and a manufacturing history that includes the invention of the smiley face here.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow, so ask about the approach and steps for anything heavy. Winter parking bans after snowfall are enforced, so check before planning a collection.

Worcester, in Massachusetts, has around 206,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Boston, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
