NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It's no secret that COVID-19 has caused massive disruptions to our lives, with many families finding themselves under financial stress. In fact, a recent survey found that six in 10 Americans said they need another economic impact payment in order to make ends meet.

Since the start of the pandemic, the newly combined OfferUp and letgo marketplace has seen an increase in new users, items posted, and items sold. Not surprisingly, the most popular items are things that are needed to keep families and children busy. Things like bicycles, kayaks, and above ground pools. Also, things like puzzles and games for time spent indoors. More recently, with back to school and additional remote learning on the horizon, desks have surged in popularity.
When selling unwanted and unused items, it's important to treat it like a business. Trae suggests taking good, clear pictures from multiple angles, describing items concisely, and using the OfferUp & letgo marketplace as a pricing guide.
The OfferUp & letgo online marketplace is a very community minded organization, allowing users to meet up with neighbors to sell and exchange items, both safely and securely.
