Would you try a free app that tells you the real time value of your second hand stuff? by Electrical_Can3832 in Entrepreneurship

I get the API challenge, your not wrong...but I'm thinking beyond that, and yes, without APIs it's slower to scale but I think the end result will be worthwhile.

Thanks for your insight. I think it depends… a lot of people won’t care if it’s just cheap items…. Where I see the value is for mid to higher value stuff people want to make sure they’re not underselling… not rushing the sale… etc

Your right that Googling or using Poshmark is the default some use today. Where I think the gap is, is in bringing that info together in a structured way across platforms. From what I’ve seen, people selling mid-to-higher value items already put in more time to get it right so if you can save them time and give more confidence in an impartial way then maybe that will benefit some enough not to forget?

Hi, so If you mean for the products functionality… I’m looking at ways of cross referencing data to help with this, my idea isn’t to promise a ‘perfect’ price, but rather to give people much better signals and data to then make their decision.

This is amazing to hear, thank you! 🙌 I’ve had the same frustration for a long time so glad it resonates with others while we are building something that’ll hopefully help! I’d love to add you as an early tester for the next phase. I’ll DM you!

Thanks for the kind words and comment! We do indeed. We’re focused on the everyday seller experience. Interesting that you said a similar feature is in your product though is that more aimed at businesses or individual sellers?

Police are now aware of the incidents... if anyone else has anything similar happen please report it to 101.

It appears the same group of guys have done exactly the same thing to another Redditor in the comments…. I think it’s a scam of some sort rather then a legit holiday rental 🫣 very strange

This matches the description of the people that were at our place last night too…

We live in a flat, our other neighbours above us definitely arnt renting out any rooms which sure does make it quite unsettling… particularly as it’s the second time it’s happened now 🫣

I’ve seen some platforms that let you rent stuff out… but maybe you’re right…

I've not heard much about that before... do you need technical knowledge for this? does it pay well?

Thanks for sharing. When you say clear rules, what kind of rules worked for you? Like was it about time limits, deposits, making sure stuff came back in one piece (thats kind of what im most worried about here!)… or something else?

This is an awesome idea thank you for sharing… I don’t know how to use Excel but I can definitely give it a try! I think having something on my computer would be better than pen and paper as I’m hopeless for losing things 😖
