Don't you love the idea of not dealing with total strangers when you are buying or selling home goods, electronics, fashion accessories and kids items! I'm never comfortable negotiating with someone I don't know anything about especially when it comes to buying or selling used goods. I always feel like I need additional information - if I have to meet this person, or if this person has to come to my house to pick up a rather heavy item. If you are like me, then you should check out the Close5 App. This app is available on iPhone and Android. It's simple to use, and will let you buy or sell for free within 5 mile radius securely. You also have access to everyone's public profile, which gives you an idea of who you are dealing with from the very beginning.
Here's how it works:
1. Download the app on your iPhone or Android cell phone.
2. Set up your profile. Review the community guidelines.
3. Take photos using the in-app camera and post it in the community.
4. You can negotiate the price of the items that you are selling or buying via secured messaging. The whole transaction can be dealt without having to give out your address, phone number or even email address. Simply comment on items available for sale and with a click of a button and make an offer!
5. Finally, arrange a meeting with 5 mile radius and you are all set.
What do you think of this App? Is this something for you? I think this is a safe and easy way to buy and sell locally...all from a cell phone! I think this is way better than Craigslist..
