are freaking awesome to deal with. No bs, no thousand questions, no waffling. Great Albertans just wanna know the address to send money and patiently wait for their treasures to arrive.
If all peeps could conduct business like Awesome Albertans, selling stuff would be a pleasure.

I have seen that process for years. If I have something to sell, I don't even use Kijiji anymore. Good ol' classifieds on S&M are awesome. Mostly Albertans who buy my gear. Joy to our fine neighbours to the east!

Honestly, some of the best items I have sold were to guys in Saskatchewan but on kijiji.

Both my last travel trailer and one of my old Summits they bought sight unseen, sent a deposit and zero issues with the balance and pick up.

My most recent sled was sold on Facebook but by an solid Alberta guy. It’s sometimes proof of those who do their homework when listing something for fair price. The Tavel trailer sold in 4 hours and I had people lined up for it but I took the first full price offer and couldn’t even bring myself to return their deposit when someone offered me $500 extra. The Summit took a day, the last sled about 12 hours. I question if I priced them too low but honestly I watch prices on stuff so closely I feel more than comfortable asking a realistic price.

One thing I couldn’t believe is how much higher sleds are priced in the US. Listing something for example of $8000cdn would run about $6200us. Meanwhile that’s a steal of a deal for those South of us as the same used sled is priced over $8000US

I guess I never think about listing on here.

Depends what you are trying to sell. I have computer parts on kijji (that are worth quite a bit) and I get 12 year old kids asking me to give it to them for free because they have no money, like that is my problem...lol

Selling sleds on kijji has been ok for me though.
