Selling a workwear jacket in Waterloo
Waterloo is the university half of the twin-city region, with an engineering and computer science school that feeds the surrounding technology sector and a large insurance industry alongside it. The student population is enormous relative to the city’s size and the co-op terms mean it turns over several times a year rather than once.
The light rail line connects the campuses to both downtowns and is the easiest way to handle a small handover. Student housing near the universities is dense, so agree a building entrance rather than a street.
In the last week of a co-op term, look at the item in person if you can. A great deal changes hands very fast here at that point, and speed is exactly when the obvious check gets skipped.
Waterloo, in Ontario, has around 125,000 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.

Photograph
- The fabric close up, showing weave and fade
- The inner label with brand and composition
Put in the description
- Lining type: unlined, blanket, quilted or sherpa
- Pit-to-pit and length laid flat
Heavy canvas, so weigh before quoting postage. Folds flat and posts fine in a mailing bag.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
