Over the years we as people tend to accumulate lots of stuff, some of it we think we absolutely need while others are things we simply want to have. However these things end up in our possession, a lot of times they sit and collect dust, or they proudly serve their purpose for a number of months or years but then we move onto newer things or get tired of the old stuff. When this happens you can get rid of it by selling it online, and there are quite a few apps available that allow you to do this from your smartphone. Here are ten apps to check out for selling or buying used items.
Starting off this list is HappySale, and the name basically says it all. Sell your old stuff, make some money, be happy. As a buyer, you can find hidden gems or things you might need for a collection. You can take pictures for listings right from the app, and communication is handled in-app so there’s no need to give out personal information.
This app is dedicated to Craigslist, although you can’t actually create a new listing with the app. You can however, edit your listings and use the app to browse listings if you’re looking to buy, making it a useful tool if Craigslist is your outlet for selling or buying used goods.
5miles is just like every other app on this list and is aimed at helping you sell your old stuff, but it focuses on listings that are within a five-mile radius of where you are. So users looking to buy will see your stuff if it’s within that range from where they are, and likewise, if you’re looking to buy, you’ll see listings for things that are within five miles of yourself.
Another app dedicated to local selling only, Varagesale lets you buy or sell used items. You can search for stuff or browse based on categories, and if you’re a frequent buyer you can favorite particular sellers so you always know what they have for sale that’s new. It also supports private in-app messages for communicating after a sale is made.
OfferUp claims to be the largest mobile marketplace for local buying and selling. You can browse items by categories, communicate within the app when you’re ready to buy, and you can even browse items by image if you would prefer.
