This is a sponsored conversation, in collaboration with Bloggin’ Mamas & Close5. All opinions are my own.
Close5 is a new free app that lets you buy & sell items locally. By now, y’all KNOW that I love a good bargain! I’m a thrift shop queen. I also find lots of goodies via Craigslist, BUT it never fails…I’ll see something I really like, only to call & find out the folks selling it live way too far away. I can’t tell you how many times my heart has been broken after finding an amazing item at just the right price, then realizing there’s no way I’m driving 100 miles to pick it up. (I love my San Francisco Bay Area, but that doesn’t mean I want to drive all over it looking for a bargain!) Close5 will never break my heart.
With Close5, I can buy items that my neighbors here in the Bay are selling. I can buy & sell items from 5 to 50 miles away.
Close5 makes local buying & selling safe, easy and fun. I can find deals on home goods, fashion, baby/kids items, and more in my area. (I even found a couple of cars for sale!) If I extend my search radius, I can scope out items in new areas.
Once I find an item, I can ask questions about it to determine if it’s the one for me.
When you’re ready to move forward, make your offer to negotiate a fair price. The in-app Chat feature allows you to securely interact with community members while keeping your personal information private. Public profiles ensure you know who you’re dealing with before you meet up.
I found some cool succulents for sale, that I just had to have for my garden. Here’s the pic the seller, Kat, placed on Close5.
I contacted Kat through the app, made her an offer, then waited for her to get back to me. It was just that easy! For just $4, I have some terrific new succulents for my garden- and I didn’t have to travel 100 miles to get them! SCORE!
Now I have my eye on something else, a cute pair of kid’s shoes. Here’s a pic of the shoes, made by See Kai Run. They look brand new, and these shoes retail for $50!
What will YOU find when you type in YOUR Bay Area city?! There’s just one way to find out-sign up for your FREE account and start bargain hunting TODAY!
I look forward to not only buying more items from my neighbors, but to selling them some of my treasures too! CH-CHING!
