OfferUp, is it used for thrifting?
I found out about OfferUp from a comment on [email protected] to post https://lemmy.world/post/1953789, by commenter @[email protected] .
The OfferUp site doesn't let me look around as it's geoblocked, and VPN didn't seem to help. So I went off the Wikipedia description and Googling:
- Competitor to eBay and CraigsList.
- It seems to be around in some major cities, and shipping is available for inter-urban or less urban locations.
- It's both for buying in straight-up transactions as well as bidding (a'la eBay).
- Most item categories are free to list items in, but it costs to put up more than a limited number of listings a month in certain categories.
- They have fees for the sales based on the transaction value
- They have some form of moderation
- They have some user based moderation based on ratings
- They tie user accounts to actual persons
- They don't handle food transactions (?)
Based on these points I would be inclined to not considering it as a thrifting resource to add to the stickied list, on the other hand I've listed an auctioning site in Sweden as a thrifting resource, and might as well include eBay as well.
Your thoughts?
Is goMkt still active? Is it used?
Save money, shop local, and protect the environment! Find delicious local meals from restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, up to 75% less at gomkt.com.
I put goMkt into the list of US food resources pinned on top of the community, but another user pointed out that the app links no longer worked. I updated the pinned post due to that.
Does anyone know any more info regarding goMkt? I’m contemplating removing them and Food Heroes from the list if they’re not useful for individuals.
