Founded in 2013, Mercari is a buying and selling app that has kind of revolutionized and modernized selling your old stuff. The founders of Mercari saw a problem: people don’t want their old stuff and people want money for that stuff too.

Typically, when you get too much stuff you need to get rid of and want some money for it, you have a garage sale or a yard sale, but Mercari eliminates the need to set all that up and get attention brought to your yard sale and so. It’s a hassle doing all of that so Mercari created a solution.

Mercari is an app that allows you to list and sell anything and everything, and makes it very easy to do so as well. I started using Mercari back in 2016 when I wanted to make some extra cash by flipping some of my old stuff I had. I made a couple hundred bucks in a couple weeks and I was hooked on selling anything and everything that I could. Since then, I have stopped using Mercari and started using Ebay, but Mercari taught me a lot about how to sell and how e-commerce works. To this day, I’ve made close to $5,000 just by flipping and selling the past 2 and a half years.

It is an easy side hustle to make fast cash and anyone can do it, and Mercari has made it very easy for people to do this. The app will only continue to grow and become more popular. This goes to show that a simple idea can become something much bigger than it may initially seem.
