Meet Shpock, the mobile second-hand shopping experience. More than 1 million people have used the boot sale app to buy and sell pre-loved things since its UK launch in March 2014.
If you’ve ever been a student you will know that along with heating, clean clothing and food, money is something you have to learn to live without. The idea of someone knocking on your front door and giving you 30 quid for a pair of shoes you have never worn, still lies in the world of fantasy. But not for much longer, claims mobile boot sale app Shpock.
Make money. Find a bargain. Get free stuff!
The ‘boot sale app for beautiful things’ is a free service allowing anyone with a smartphone or tablet to up-load their pre-loved items and exchange them for cold hard cash with people in their neighbourhood. In less than 30 seconds, a new item can be listed, and it is immediately visible to people nearby. The items are sorted by the current location of the user in a visually appealing way making it easier to discover local treasures. Once a user finds something precious, it is extremely easy and fast to get in touch with the seller and settle all details within the app. Buying and selling on the app, as well as the app download itself is free and Shpock charges absolutely no commission fees.
With the second term of university well underway, students up and down the UK are beginning to feel the pinch with little sign of fiscal respite. However, a recent study has shown that the average British household hordes a very handy £517 each*. And it’s not just the quick sale that is proving popular. Shpock is the first point of call with many students looking for a bargain on electronics, vintage clothing, furniture, sports equipment and much more, not to mention the plethora of items listed in the ‘Free Stuff’ selection.
