Getting around for pickups

Local buying and selling tips

• The dry climate is kind to wood furniture, but intense sun can fade fabrics left near windows, so check upholstery color.
• Production equipment and props sometimes appear when shoots wrap, which can mean good prices on lighting and stands.
• Earthquake preparedness is a local habit, so bookcases and tall furniture are often sold with wall anchors.
• Allow extra time for traffic and choose a meeting point that is convenient for both parties.
