A Better Alternative Than Ebay or Craigslist?

DAYTON, Ohio - Sept. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Dayton, Ohio - It's challenging enough for local people to survive in this tough economy, but a local company founded by 4 longtime friends and residents of Dayton, Ohio have found a way to help local people in their community.

What it does: LookNeer allows people to use their smartphone, tablet or home computer to find medium to large-sized items locally for sale or donation. The service lists the nearest items first, and uses categories and geo-location in searches. Items include everything from furniture, appliances, go karts, autos to electronics and more.

“According to statistics, 80 percent of people’s purchases happen within a 20-mile radius of where they live. We really just want to help people buy and sell locally so we can keep the money in the Dayton area to help the local economy,” said Sandhu.

Price: The service is free.

What makes the business stand out: The local aspect cuts down on the spam, scams and cost of shipping. The option to donate is also a way of helping local residents get what they need.

“It’s going well, we’re getting a very positive response,” said Peck. “We’ve gotten lots of great feedback.

People are looking for an alternative to eBay or Craigslist.”

More to come: Future services include a Lost & Found section, local service people, surplus items for sale by local businesses and even homes and rental properties.
