@jacqvon Thank for the hunt. We started Trove because personally I love decorating with vintage and secondhand finds, and believed that there should be a mobile first and cross platform solution for the furnishings and home decor space. We are one of the only local buying and selling mobile apps that supports payments and smart fraud detection. We’ve also got smart engagement features for folks who may not be ready to buy or sell right away.
Hey guys, curious - any metrics on how long it takes for the average good to be sold, or how long the average buyer has to sift before finding something they want?
Also, I want to mention, we have envisioned the how chat can merge with commerce: with magic word for commerce a while back:
Report
I was excited until the home page showed an ikea bed - will you be doing any sort of content listing moderation? if not, you are inviting all of craigslist, including furniture dealers selling junky stuff
@passingnotes Yes, we do some moderation. While we let individual sellers sell their stuff, but we partner with many local boutique stores to bring some of the best inventory where we highlight more.
Report
@xngwng maybe a simple community flagging option would solve this - like flag as "obviously not vintage"
@passingnotes Thanks, we do have a feature to allow people to flag inappropriate items. Although right now, used ikea furniture is still ok for us. :)

@xngwng sounds good, though I think big box store furniture from the past few years really kills the entire pitch, makes it into mobile furniture classifieds imho

It might become a great place to find vintage furniture. There is a niche market for this. Best of luck with the business
@xngwng@mylo_does Kind of funny, as soon as we saw Peach, we are like, that is what we were already trying to do for commerce. The magic words that trigger different commerce actions. Although we are using Predition.IO and Apache.Spark to make it smart for the future. Not just magic words, but really detect intentions.

@xngwng Thanks, and good to hear that you're so forward thinking about it.
@mylo_does Thanks! It was really driven by users, we noticed a lot of users are directly conducting commerce over chat already (instead of the offer flow we originally implemented). So we decided to do a tighter experience integration between chat and commerce and highlight chat more. Stay tuned for more cool stuff. :)
@mylo_does As an update, we just released payments through chat on Android,. If you have an Android phone, check it out. iOS should be out within the next week or so once approved by Apple. As a buyer you can pay via Credit, Debit, or Venmo. As a seller, you can receive payments directly into your Venmo account or back account. By acting as the escrow agent, neither the buyer or seller has access to your payment information.
