Selling video games in Thunder Bay
Thunder Bay is the port at the head of the Great Lakes, where prairie grain has been loaded onto ships for over a century, and it is the largest city for a very long way in any direction. Winter here is severe and the isolation is real rather than rhetorical.
Forestry, port work and the university all turn people over on their own cycles. Because shipping anything in is costly, goods circulate locally for far longer here than they would in a larger market.
Driving is essential and the city has two distinct centres from its amalgamation, so agree which one. Freight in and out is slow and expensive, which is exactly why buying locally matters more here than in the south.
Because freight from the south is slow and costly, check that any parts you might need are available locally before buying something unusual. It is the difference between a bargain and a project.
Handing it over in Thunder Bay
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Getting it ready
- Check every disc or cartridge for scratches, and confirm each is in its correct case with the correct artwork.
