When it comes to making a quick buck or just cleaning out your closet, the go-to platforms have been eBay and Craigslist. But those can be really hit-and-miss; either you end up selling it for much less than expected, it ends up taking forever, or you have to deal with some shady people. Sure, Craigslist can be a great tool for selling and buying things, but a new App has hit the market by storm! OfferUp is a mobile app that simplifies buying and selling items locally - without the shady transactions and convoluted correspondence.

For both Apple and Android, OfferUp is free! And it’s really simple to sign up and use. You can even use Facebook to sign up and fill out your profile, but it keeps your personal information private - so don’t worry!

1. Login with Facebook which allows you to use your existing Facebook account and lets you see which friends use OfferUp.
2. Sign Up allows you to enter your preferred email address and password to create an account.
