I built a marketplace where buyers post what they want — instead of sellers
Most marketplaces make buyers do all the searching. I flipped that. BuyrFindr lets buyers post exactly what they're looking for, and sellers come to them.
Built it solo from my Android phone using Termux — no laptop, no fancy setup. It's live at buyrfindr.com and I'm looking for feedback from anyone who's tried buying or selling locally.
Would love to know: would you use something like this in your city?
well this certainly an unique idea and honestly i love it, finally someone address what the buyers want, instead just people building random things.
Likewise seeing the rising demand of security tools, i've build Vaultscan, it's an AI Cybersecurity detector, it scans your GitHub repo or website and provides back a detailed report listing every single security vulnerabilities you're site has, where to fix it and how to fix it once and for all. If you'd like, i can scan buyrfindr for free. I mean if you're building this for people, you'd want it to be as safe as possible right, so check if it is or not.
The buyer-first marketplace angle is interesting, but the hard part will not be the product concept. It will be local density.
For something like BuyrFindr, one city and one use case probably matters more than launching broadly. If buyers can post anything, sellers may not know why to check it. But if the first wedge is narrower, like used phones, furniture, car parts, or local services in one city, the behavior becomes easier to seed.
I’d test it with one city, one category, and one repeated buying pain before trying to make it a general local marketplace.
