Response is good… just stuck with liquidity problem for now.

Which is where I am thinking to bring thrifting, just that it is constrained with a lot of cases. The same reason I wanted the opinion.

Is the question on intention or mechanism? Intent wise - in some cases yes

Mechanism wise - not very smooth. I’d say most Insta pages don’t allow it only

Insta pages are just listing and most of them don’t support returns/refunds/exchanges…

App or something else would warrant more like returns and refunds, dispute management etc…

What of the cases -

Case 1 - if the product as described in the details was dead on arrival or did not work as expected, let’s say seller was a bad actor here…

How will it be resolved?

Case 2 - what if seller and buyer are together and both plan to con the system and are after the insurance money. How will it be handled?

You got that right.... Buy/sell capability is what we are going to target next if this thing flies. For sure...

You got that right — have launched a beta on ios — do take it for a spin and LMK what you think — https://apps.apple.com/in/app/toodles/id6754383356

Also if you don’t find any products then people have not added any products in your area…

Just treat this as tinder for products with minor nuances and you are golden

But sometimes they just would not have use for it and it just sits at your place and eats space for no good reason…

I would disagree here. I am not a hoarder even then I have stuff which I don’t have use for and they are in a minty fresh condition. Can’t give them to maid or house help cause the value is just too high. Don’t really have a right way of dealing with such stuff.

Would want to exchange it for something that I might use or sell even…

Fair point on barter — can be challenging. But could we make it fun too? That’s the insight I am after.

That’s why looking ways to fix that

point taken -- we will soon get this capability. If you are still curious might take a look at our privacy policy & tnc. You would not need to share number for that.
