ByeThings

Selling something second-hand is easy until you have to write the advert. ByeThings does that part. Photograph the thing you are done with and it works out what it is — the make, the model, the material, the condition — puts a realistic price on it, and writes the listing for you. Then it puts it in front of buyers near you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Photograph it. Get close and fill the frame. 2. It is read, priced and written up. You get a title, a description and a price band, with the reasoning behind the number. 3. Change anything you like, then publish. Listing is free and unlimited. WHAT YOU PAY FOR Scanning, and nothing else. Publishing listings, messaging buyers and your own public seller page are free on every account. A new account gets three free scans. After that you buy a pack of scans as a one-off payment — they do not expire and there is nothing to cancel. If you sell every week there is an optional monthly plan, but most people will not need it. BUYING, TOO The marketplace works both ways. Search for what you want, see how far away it is, and message the seller in the app. Distances are worked out from the first half of a postcode, so you can tell whether something is a reasonable drive without anybody publishing their address. WHAT WE DO NOT DO We do not take a cut of your sale. We do not handle the money — you arrange that with the buyer directly, in cash on collection, by bank transfer or by PayPal. We do not run advertising, and we do not use any analytics or advertising trackers at all. A NOTE ON PRICES Every price is an estimate from a photograph and your notes, not a valuation. It is not checked against any other marketplace. It is a place to start, and you can change it before anything goes live and at any time afterwards. ByeThings is for the United Kingdom.
