So...it's competing with Craigslist by building an OS-limited mobile app that posts items to Craigslist. And they want 10% of any sales.
Craiglist is accessible from any device, and it is free.
They really need to put more thought into their business model.
- ryanmickle 14y agoThanks for the feedback, we actually never set out to compete with Craigslist. We built Yardsale as a way to list and sell for all the items that don't get posted on Craigslist or eBay, because it's too painful. So really, at least in my own personal experience, the choice is to get nothing for an item, or to list and sell it to a neighbor and make money that I wouldn't have otherwise.
- workhorse 14y agoBut you are competing with Craigslist. Not to mention the App store has no shortage of classified apps. Posting to classified sites really isn't that difficult. For some people, sure, but enough to justify a company? The proof is in the marketplace with the lack of traction for Eggdrop, Antengo, and the numerous other apps that claim to make posting items for sale easier. I would stick to the community aspect. I don't know if there is anything there, but at least it is different then what already exists in the market.
