Bazaar
A new kind of marketplace.
Introduction
Bazaar revolutionizes second-hand shopping through meaningful connections. It’s not an ordinary marketplace; it's your go-to for quick and user-friendly transactions.
Problem
Students face a significant challenge in finding a suitable platform to efficiently sell or dispose of items they no longer need. The current scenario: dorm-spam. Our inboxes are flooded with a barrage of emails from fellow students attempting to sell a variety of items, from old clothing, to tickets, and computers. The absence of a dedicated platform on campus means there is no centralized space for students to seamlessly exchange goods. Existing alternatives, such as Ebay and Poshmark, prove to be time-consuming and lack user-friendliness. This not only prevents the process of decluttering and recycling items but also contributes to the frustration of dealing with dorm-spam and navigating complex second-hand marketplaces.
Opportunity
Introducing Bazaar, an evolutionary digital marketplace catered exclusively for students. Bazaar will be a platform where students can effortlessly buy or sell anything from spare hangers to a 3D printer. Bazaar is not just a marketplace; it's your go-to solution for quick, user-friendly transactions.
Bazaar will eliminate the hassle of getting rid of unwanted stuff. With Bazaar, students can easily make some extra cash while decluttering their lives. The unique benefit of Bazaar is that students don't have to worry about costly shipping hassles or organizing meetups with strangers on the other side of town. Instead, they can facilitate the exchange in between classes or mid-study session in the Stud. Bazaar isn't just about fostering sustainability and reusing right on campus, but also about building a sense of community and supporting students in the long run.
