Its an app that puts together buyers and sellers, a faster craigslist.
I was actually putting together something similar to this and Im finding apps that were made that failed and are dead.
Was just wondering what you thought of the business model. I would think an app like this would be great.

Never heard of it, that's probably one of the reasons. Did a Google search and apparently they had competition in that space with Zaarly, TaskRabbit and Craigslist. To launch a start-up with an app like that, I would think it would be a better idea to partner with something like craigslist rather than try to beat the 800 lb gorilla at its own game. just my thoughts after a 60 second investigation
