Why We Built This

We're McAllen residents just like you, and we've experienced the frustrations:

As Buyers:

• Driving around aimlessly hoping to spot signs
• Missing great sales entirely
• Wasting time at disappointing sales
• No way to know what's being sold before arriving

As Sellers:

• Limited visibility beyond immediate neighbors
• Relying on handmade signs people might not see
• No way to showcase your best items in advance
• Missing potential buyers who didn't know about your sale

We built the solution we wished existed.
