By on September 19, 2012

As anyone with children can tell you, having children means the addition of tons of new items into your household. And over the years, certain items become obsolete. Parents, when it comes to getting rid of all the unnecessary items your children no longer need, OfferUp is here to help. 

Whether you are looking for more space or trying to de-clutter a space of old toys and such, this brand new mobile app will turn your phone into a virtual garage sale. OfferUp makes it super easy to clear our the clutter, and just in time for the impending holiday season.

OfferUp is an iPhone mobile app allows sellers to simply snap a picture, post it up for sale in under one minute and items are immediately posted on the OfferUp mobile marketplace and website without anyone ever needing to connect to a computer! Sellers can chose to post the listing on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or just send out an email to a few people or groups. OfferUp also makes things easier for the buyers.

One user stated:

As a mom with 3 kids I don’t have time to post items for sell much. OfferUp made it completely frictionless for me. I could take photos, write descriptions, engage interested buyers, and confirm bids all from my smartphone. The app is efficient and easy to use. I can’t recommend it enough.

OfferUp founders, Nick Huzar and Arean van Veelen, created the app with the understanding that many items would come and go into their homes for just a short while, they wanted to know if there was a place to buy and sell gently used items. They looked at existing players in the market and decided it’s really hard to sell things.

OfferUp was born with one mission in mind: to make buying and selling as easy as taking a photo.

You can learn more about OfferUp from their official website, or by finding the app on the App Store.
