Description of the Project

We propose to build a secondhand goods trading platform targeting college students specifically. College students, who often possess a limited amount of disposable income, are always circumscribed by a humble budget when they are adding school supplies, buying furniture, or making purchases in general. Therefore, we will establish a platform for college students to buy and sell reliable second-hand products with a budget-friendly price tag.

Product Vision Statement

Empowering college students to buy, sell, and connect effortlessly, ensuring affordability and sustainability at the heart of every exchange.

History of the project

The concept for this project emerged from personal experiences and observations of college life. We recognized the financial constraints faced by many college students and identified a gap in the market for a dedicated second-hand trading platform. Our team united with the shared vision of making college life more affordable and sustainable, leading to the inception of this project.
