2. In the garage sale mindset, its more of finding a deal, or “treasure” than a need. Certainly there
are people who thrive on buying all the low priced clothing, but those that stalk the goods of
some price, $50+ are those wanting a stellar deal on something or a “treasure”. Similarly sellers
who would have a virtual garage sale or even bother with selling something individual in a small
item count sale (1-10) items would likely not bother selling a $2 shirt, but try and get some quick
cash with $50+ items.
In looking through the miles of junk on Craig’s list, you are presented with the problem of
consuming the sales quickly. Giving an improved image view greatly increases the users
experience of consuming the sales, where going through a 100 or more sales can be done in a
minute. Providing a way to flag deals of interest gives the “saler” a rapid way to keep track of
those while continuing to view them.
In an ebay local mode you have to click the item, view image, add to watch list, conceivably map
it with 3rd party app and move to next item in same fashion.
Craigs list – provides a dry, textual description which you have to click through for undersized
image, copy description & image, paste into notepad, map then move on. Either case is very
painful and not tuned to those garage saler’s who like to spend their mornings going to pertinent
locations vs. filtering out the locations with baby clothes/etc. Same case with people who – I
believe would use a craigslist type function if consuming the posts was not so timely.

the “pure” spirit of sell-

consideration. For 1.0, I
don’t think purchasers
should initiate a

25. Sellers could obviously utilize same picture flow
UI to view all the items they have for sale
This “cover flow” widget is generally available
and would only require slight mod for tagging
function.
Perfect platform for injecting ads throughout.
Esp when showing results on a search (i.e.
bicycles).
Possible platform for white-boxing mobile

26. Opportunity to get ideas on other’s likes or those with similar tastes.
