Best Apps To Sell Your Stuff Locally

If you’re looking to see your stuff locally, you’ve got several options. Here are some of the most popular apps for selling stuff locally. 

The nice thing about using apps that help you advertise locally is that you can target nearby buyers and potential sell items within a day. 

12. OfferUp

OfferUp (which recently acquired Letgo) is a favorite app for selling stuff locally. Both buyers and sellers have to be members to participate.

And all members are rated via ratings and badges. What’s more, you can see a member’s transaction history for added comfort.

You can post items for sale in less than 30 seconds, and it’s free to use OfferUp in most cases. Those selling multiple vehicles in a month will pay a listing fee to use OfferUp.  

13. Facebook Local Groups

Facebook local groups can be another great avenue for selling stuff online to local buyers. You can typically find a local buy/sell group by searching the city you’re in within the Facebook search feature.

In most cases, you’ll have to request to join a group before you’re approved. Once you’re approved, you can post items to sell, advertising to buyers right in the area where you live or work. 

With the Facebook local groups, you can usually avoid Facebook Marketplace’s selling fees too. You determine where and when to meet up with buyers.  

14. Craigslist

Craigslist is an old standby for selling your stuff locally. It’s still free for selling pretty much everything but vehicles.

5miles recommended meeting in a safe location to do your exchange. 

16. VarageSale

VarageSale works a bit like Craigslist, only with a few extra benefits. First, for safety reasons you have to confirm your identity (via your Facebook account) and be approved to join. 

Second, the site is community-specific. The goal there is that you’re only dealing with people in your community. There are no fees for using VarageSale.

17. Bookoo

Bookoo is another app that was created so you can buy and sell with those within your community. It’s kind of like shopping at neighborhood yard sales, only online. 

There are no fees to use Bookoo, and you are responsible for handling the meetup with your buyers. 

One note about Bookoo: Some areas of the U.S. have limited usage of the site and very few listings.  You may want to check Bookoo’s website to be sure those in your area are using it before advertising there.

18. Shpock

Shpock started in the UK but has expanded to include U.S. cities as well. With Shpock, buyers are encouraged to make an offer on items, which means there’s often room to haggle. 

Of course, you as a seller don’t have to accept an offer, and you’re free to counter back with a different price. But this feature does have the potential to make selling online more fun.  

Shpock doesn’t charge any fees. You can sell anything from clothing, to tools, to electronics on Shpock. 

19. Yardsales.com

Yardsales.com is a site where you can advertise your upcoming yard sale to a local audience. That might be a good way to garner some interest from potential buyers.

20. Garage Sale Finder

Garage Sale Finder is another site where you can advertise your upcoming garage sale. The site lists sales in major cities across the U.S.

It’s free to use, and has the ability to partner with GPS for easy mapping. 

21. Instagram

Instagram might not be the first app you think of when trying to sell items locally. However, the app can work very well for selling hot items. 

There’s no fee to post your stuff for sale on Instagram. Just post the item, share your area, and see what happens! 

The younger generations are having great luck selling on Instagram! Note: Taking great photos is key to selling your stuff quickly on Instagram–or anywhere else!
