Hi guys, I am Sarfraz co-founder of TOYCYCLE. We built our platform originally to enable families to connect locally to swap free used toys. Families in the Bay Area expressed excitement about the possibilities, but we found that it only worked for about 20% of those who signed up. The majority reported they just didn’t have the bandwidth to deal with the mountains of outgrown toys and gear they were storing. So, we pivoted to a much more convenient option, taking the hassle out of buying and selling used toys and baby gear. For sellers we now offer full-service consignment. We come pick up your stuff and then handle all the details of the sale. For buyers, we offer a large selection of fully vetted items in an e-commerce environment with local delivery and nationwide shipping.

We’re super excited about the initial engagement and we want to make our service a truly valuable solution for our customers. We’d love any questions, and especially feedback. What do you want from an e-commerce experience? What makes it most convenient? What are some of your pet peeves with buying used products online? Shipping issues? Advise for improvements? Growth Hacks? Happy to hear it all!
