Letgo
Letgo has a somewhat different approach than any other app we’ve talked about thus far, as this app is location based. You will be asked to grant this app location access, or manually select your location, and based on that, the app will filter what it has to offer for you. The goal here is to sell items in real life, but find them online. The app will never reveal your exact location to the buyer, but it will show your approximate location (neighborhood), and it will let you contact the buyer via private messages to arrange a place where the two of you will meet.
GearBest
