Why pre-owned
Every item already consumed materials, energy, and logistics. Extending its life transfers value between people instead of triggering another production cycle.
- Buyer: quality without the “new” premium.
- Seller: fast liquidity and recovered value.
- City: less waste, more value circulating locally.
Behavior shift: when resale is fast and safe, people choose reuse over buying another new unit.
Overproduction
Demand steers supply. A liquid secondary market slows overproduction by capturing a share of demand through reuse.
- Longer life cycle → lower footprint per unit of utility.
- Local deals → shorter logistics, less packaging, fewer returns.
- Repair/upcycle economies grow around liquid second-hand flows.
Safe spaces
Most of us are immigrants or expats. We design for trust: rules inside chats, moderation, reputation, verification, and routing into known spaces rather than anonymous listings.
- Communities as a trust layer on top of transactions.
- Clear, simple rules from day one.
- Prevention tools first; firefighting second.
