Some of you are awesome at buying and selling second-hand stuff. You’re comfortable with navigating various websites or apps, social media buying/selling groups and consignment racks to find good deals or to sell the stuff you no longer need. While I have dabbled in these for certain items, I am not personally a fan. It takes a lot of time (which I do not have), and I’m wary about meeting strangers or giving them my home address. I also hate having to drive out of my way to meet potential buyers.
But my family has a lot of stuff. Too much stuff. Nice stuff. And I would love for all this stuff to find a great home and family who could use it. Basically, I need an app for that…and I found it! And if you know me personally, I’ve probably already told you about it.

What to buy and sell
For obvious reasons, this is not the place to sell a car or pre-assembled furniture. But how about kids clothes, shoes and accessories, toys, handbags, home decor, sports equipment, books, movies, jewelry, baby carriers and other essentials, outerwear…are you getting the idea? It’s truly a great marketplace for these items and more.
The local minds behind Rezella
The team behind Rezella has spent many years studying ways to improve upon the current global e-commerce systems. Through all their experiences, they kept coming back to one question: Why does person-to-person commerce have to be so complicated?
“In order to buy and sell in the currently available marketplaces, you have to navigate a series of obstacles. There are elaborate profiles to create, you have to expose a lot of your personal information to the public, you have to communicate with or even meet with strangers in person, and after all of that, without a lengthy history of buyer or seller ratings, you still end up at the bottom of the pile.” ~ Rezella Founder
So don’t mess with buying and selling your nice used stuff via social media or other websites when there is an easier and safer way.
You can download Rezella today for free at the App Store.
