Selling a workwear jacket in Rochester
Rochester built its wealth on photography, optics and photocopying, and the companies that did it left the city an unusual concentration of precision engineering skill and a major museum of photography. Lake-effect snow here is heavy and reliable.
The road network was built for a considerably larger population than the city now holds, so crossing town is quick and a kerbside load is rarely contested. Lake-effect snow can arrive fast and heavy between November and March, so agree a fallback rather than assuming the day will hold.
On camera equipment, ask for the shutter count and check the lens elements for haze and fungus. This is a knowledgeable market and sellers here expect both questions.
Rochester, in New York, has around 210,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. New York, Buffalo and Yonkers are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Rochester
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
