Buying home & garden in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh was the steel capital of the country and rebuilt itself around universities, medicine and robotics after the mills closed. It sits at the confluence of three rivers on very steep hills, crossed by more bridges than any other city in the world.
Mirrors, glass and ceramics are among the worst things to send by courier, and the packing costs more than the item is often worth. Carrying something home yourself is both cheaper and very much safer.
What to check in person
Look at it in daylight if you can, because lamps and screens both flatter colour. Check mirrors and glass at an angle for chips along the edge, and unroll a rug far enough to see the middle, where wear and staining collect.
Collecting it in Pittsburgh
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The hills and the bridges make routes far longer than the map suggests, and many houses are reached by public stairways rather than roads. Establish the approach before agreeing to anything heavy.
Selling your home & garden in Pittsburgh free
Steel-era closures left excellent tooling in private hands, and two large universities clear student housing each May. The century-old housing on the slopes carries genuinely old furniture with it.
Name the material and the colour precisely rather than approximately, and warn the buyer if screens tend to render it differently. Wrap anything fragile ready for the journey, and mention every chip or mark rather than leaving it to be found. Moves hardest in spring cleaning season and again as people redecorate before winter.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
