Having trouble letting go of your pre-loved items? Well, we have some good news! Here at Relovd we help you breathe new life into your pre-loved items by turning them into Relovd items. And we are not stopping there, thanks to our smart bartering system that is packed into a neat and fun interface you too will get to give a pre-loved item the love it deserves.
Why Choose Bartering?
You might be asking yourself, why barter when you can sell or throw away your pre-loved items. Although the reasons for choosing bartering over other methods can vary from person to person we have gathered together some of the main ones Relovd can help you with below.
Fairness and Reciprocity
Relovd lets you decide what constitutes a fair trade with the help of its smart algorithm. Simply choose an item you want to barter and swipe right or left on other items available in your area.
Nostalgia and Cultural Preservation
Relovd combines that surge of nostalgia you feel when partaking in one of the oldest forms of exchange and the sense of cultural preservation with the convenience and comfort of your own home. Just launch the app and start swiping.
Reducing Waste
We have only one earth and it falls to all of us to help protect it as best we can. Relovd helps you help the planet by promoting reuse and sustainable consumption patterns to reduce waste and lower your carbon footprint.
Challenges
Regardless of how entertaining and convenient it may be, here at Relovd we also understand that bartering comes with its own set of challenges that we are ready to tackle. See below for how we can help you with those challenges.
Difficulty in Finding Matching Needs
Have you ever been to an online bartering platform and realised that none of the items you see are quite what you are looking for? Relovd is here to help by learning from your swiping behaviour to prioritise items you are more likely to be interested in, that way you can spend more time with your newly Relovd items and less time looking for one.
Valuation Issues
Another major issue people face when bartering online is valuation. How do you know how much the market value of your item is relative to the item you are interested in? We understand that value can be relative but if you prefer the peace of mind that comes with bartering items with similar market values Relovd has you covered. Relovd estimates the market value of every item in our database and lets you know if the item you see on your screen has a higher, lower, or similar market value to the item you are offering.
