Yardsale App Lets You Sell Your Stuff and Meet Your Neighbors Too
- UTHorsey 14y agoVery cool. It reminds me a bit of 'Near' for the PS Vita. Get out and socialize people!
- timjahn 14y ago"The app is set up so you can easily cross-post your item on Craigslist, too." I find that statement extremely interesting. The problem with apps like this is they're only as good the volume of people that use them. YardSale sounds to me like a more beautiful, mobile centered Craigslist. But YardSale is only as good as the number of people who have it installed an use it. I'm in the process of moving and we're getting rid of a bunch of random furniture. Where did we post it? Craigslist of course. Because when you need to find something, you go to Craigslist. I don't envy YardSale. Craigslist has a not-so-pretty interface and it's not exactly the most intuitive. But when it comes to selling/buying things, Craigslist simply works. Really well.
- marknutter 14y agoExcept that Craiglist doesn't "simply work" for a large part of the population out there. The process of getting a photo from the average person's camera to Craiglist may seem trivial to us techies but it's a huge barrier for a lot of people. In fact, I would argue that Craiglist is missing out on a huge market because they haven't taken the simple step of coming out with a basic iphone app that makes the process of posting easier. Until they do, there is market opportunity here.
- egallardo 14y agoThere are several apps like this, EggDrop being one of them, but Yardsale seems to have the edge in UI at least..
