Why this exists

Public resale platforms are broad, noisy, and often uncomfortable for local handoff. Neighborhood exchange should feel simpler and safer.

Public marketplaces bring strangers and uncertainty.

Pickup coordination becomes endless back-and-forth.

Free items are hard to give away quickly and safely.

Neighbors already have context and trust nearby.
