## Why this exists

Public resale platforms are broad, noisy, and often uncomfortable for local handoff. Neighborhood exchange should feel simpler and safer.

Public marketplaces bring strangers and uncertainty.

Pickup coordination becomes endless back-and-forth.

Free items are hard to give away quickly and safely.

Neighbors already have context and trust nearby.

## How it works

### Create or join a community

Residents enter by invite link or community code.

### Post items in seconds

List items for sale or free with a simple form.

### Neighbors request

Members send lightweight requests inside the community.

### Approve pickup simply

Mark reserved, placed outside, or sold in one flow.

### Private community marketplace

Listings are visible only to trusted members in your own building or neighborhood.
