Mother’s Day is coming up and we all need a little extra money to help get something spectacular for her. If you are someone who has electronics laying around, GONE! may be your answer. The Gone! app, helps families sell what they don’t need: Gone! picks everything up and then sells it for you; so the hassles of selling online are completely Gone! This selling service has been featured on CNN, Mashable, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, and more!
For my kids, Gone! Lite is the answer! Gone! Lite is a new expansion of the Gone! app that allows anyone, anywhere, to sell their unwanted stuff by utilizing services through UPS. Simply snap a picture of the item, find it in the Gone! discovery section or connect your email account to pull up your purchase history. Gone! will then price your item and send you an offer. Once the offer is accepted Gone! sends you a prepaid shipping box, through UPS, and you’re done.
This Mother’s Day I am encouraging my bigger bunch to take a good look around in their drawers and closets to see what they have that they aren’t using anymore. The average household has approximately three thousand dollars worth of unused stuff sitting there, going to waste! While I know my house doesn’t have much sitting around, we do have one or two items that are.
My oldest son is really good at saving his money to buy specific items on his wish-list. This usually means he is saving for the latest and greatest in technology. My biggest issue with this has been that the moment he gets his new thing, his old thing sits around. And by sits around I mean a $200 device is sitting there with nobody to play with it because they have moved on!
More Features!
Gone! also unveiled a partnership with Amazon, and significant upgrades to the app, including email integration with Slice. Users have the option to pair their email account with Slice, which monitors purchase history through email receipts, and keeps tabs on the changing market value of recently purchases items. After writing a brief description and uploading all information via the app, Gone! pricing experts will send an offer for the item in a matter of minutes. If the seller agrees to the price, they will select either Gone! On-Demand or Gone! Lite as their method for shipping.
Get Gone!
Gone! is even On-Demand. With Gone! On-Demand, a Gone! representative will stop by the users home to pick up the item. On-Demand is currently available in Austin and San Francisco, and coming soon to New York City and Seattle. Don’t worry, if you don’t reside in one of these metropolitan areas, Gone! Lite sill has everything you need.
