Donate It or Loop It? Atlanta App Loop Turns Clutter to Cash
The premise is simple. Users download the Loop app, snap a photo, and answer a few quick questions about an item they would like to sell. Loop provides a guaranteed cash offer and if accepted, that item is picked up from their porch the next day, with cash being deposited directly into a Venmo account. Once an item is picked up, the Loop team gets to work marketing and selling that item to others nearby. The most common items are household goods — including electronics, gaming, outdoor gear, kitchen appliances, fitness equipment, tools, travel, small pieces of furniture, musical instruments, and kids toys — that one person can carry and are worth $50 or more.
