Changing the world one item at a time

It is Never that I will write a review for an app. Yet I do believe every rule has an exception. There is no other application I look forward to opening as much as this one. BuyNothing has been the cornerstone in restoring my capacity for humanity. I have met community like no other through our shared items we have excess of, and are seeking without a price tag. I am so grateful to be a conduit for magical moments. like being able to fill someone’s entire advent calendar of tea, like furnishing an entire apartment as a full time student while working, like swooping in to help clear an apartment of stuff after someone passed, like asking for extra carbs while training for a marathon (with so much encouragement), like helping organize a BuyNothing free yard sale where you bring anything you don’t need, and take what you do. The future I want is one of both community giving and receiving. I don’t need the latest gadget, the fanciest chtochkey, or whatever the latest cheap trend is. I love my dresser More because i know someone else loved it first and took care of it for the next person. I can only hope that until the day i die- I will be part of something bigger than myself, keeping items out of landfills by using them and caring for them. I know I am just one person. Yet I have met a plethora of people through this app that think the same way, and that lights up my world. This was written by a real person that cares. BuyNothing has deeply affected my life, and deserves more stars than one could ever rate it.

a feed of unavilable things?

i cant understand why the app always open to "all" if that means it intends to show claimed items. i click the active tab as instructed and its basically identical to the all tab, but the comments on most of the items reveal the item is gone.

I can now give stuff that I love to someone who will love it too

This also keeps my info off the internet so I don’t have even MORE spam calls

We need to get off Facebook!

Please, please, please invest in making this app better. Facebook buy nothing groups are far superior for many reasons I’m sure the founders of BN know. But Facebook is evil and I would love to get off of it completely. This and marketplace are the only things that keep me there. Surely someone can create a better alternative that would match in quality of user experience.

I love the people on this app!

I’ve used this app to unload some items I no longer need. So far, the people I’ve met offline are kind and prompt to pick up their items. Way better experience than FB Marketplace.
