Driving is easy and parking is plentiful, so collection is simple whenever the weather allows. For several months a year it does not, and both sides are usually glad of a garage or an underground car park.

Edmonton, in Alberta, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
