Ask HN: Why isn't there a Reddit/Pinterest for resale?

2 points by solo1preneur 7y ago ↗ HN

There are many lifestyle / category based mobile buy/sell marketplaces:

For example:

https://poshmark.com/ - womens fashion

https://sobump.com/ - streetwear

https://depop.com/ - creatives marketplace

https://www.etsy.com/ - maker/vintage

... many more

To me, this is like user forums before reddit/subreddits came along.

My question is: Why isn't there an app that lets users create, curate, and shop all of these topics in one spot. Each one of the links listed above would be analogous to a subreddit on the platform.

Isn't it craigslist?

Craigslist is more like 4chan imo, a list of pre-determined boards. Also, craigslist is based on locality of the seller & in person meet-ups.

This project would let users create small buy & sell communities around anything from fashion trends (e.g. streetwear, coachella, grunge, etc...) to weird hobbies (collectibles, watches, vintage maps/globes, etc...)
