Selling vinyl records in Chatham-Kent
Chatham-Kent is a single municipality covering a large stretch of the most productive farmland in the country, with a number of small towns inside it rather than one city. Agriculture and food processing are the economy, and the flat land here is drained farmland rather than natural prairie.
Agree which town before anything else — this is a municipality the size of a county and the distances inside it are real. Trucks and trailers are ordinary, so moving something large is rarely the problem.
Confirm which town the item is in and the actual driving distance before agreeing a price. This municipality is the size of a county and a collection can be forty minutes each way inside it.
Chatham-Kent, in Ontario, has around 105,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Chatham-Kent
