Trove Market, Buy & Sell Local [Android]

Have something of your own to sell local or interested in buy local?

Trove is a second hand marketplace that makes it easier than ever to buy, sell, barter and discover preowned, restored, and vintage furniture and home decor items in the community, all on a simple mobile sales app.

Trove is featured in US News & World Report, Apartment Therapy, Houston Pulse Magazines, Country Living, and other media outlets. Apartment Therapy said we are one of the best alternatives to Craigslist.

Use Trove classifieds to see for sale items from your neighbors, boutique stores, antique shops, and artists. Before renovate or redecorate, get design ideas for your home interior, kitchen decor, backyard and more. You never know what bargains or second hand stores you may find. Offer up to reserve items you’re interested in buying, and pay through the app once you’ve met the seller face-to-face to see the item!

HOW TO DISCOVER AND SHOP FOR COOL TREASURES
