[UPDATE] This program has been discontinued and is no longer available. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Everyone loves finding great deals or making extra cash by selling the stuff they no longer need. For anyone who’s ever attempted to buy or sell used tech in person, you’ve likely run into the frustrating experience that is online meetups. If you’ve been looking for a better way to buy and sell your used tech in Kansas City, we have the perfect solution…
We’re thrilled to announce that Swappa Local is now officially available in Kansas City as one of our very first launch cities. Swappa started here in KC and still calls it home today. Ben Edwards started Swappa in Kansas City in 2010 after getting scammed (again) in a bad Craigslist meetup. Being sold a blocklisted phone wasn’t worth the high-speed chase that almost happened, but it was the motivation to create a better, safer marketplace.
Swappa Local now provides KC residents with the ability to safely buy or sell used tech in their local community. By avoiding shipping charges and making devices available for easy pickup, Swappa Local is changing the way people think of traditional face-to-face marketplaces.
