Swap is a website and smartphone application that will provide college students a place to buy and sell furniture, books, house hold items, and other college necessities. Additionally, students can offer their tutoring, moving, transportation, and cleaning services to other students. In order for a student to use this app/website they will need to show proof that they are a student of an accredited university by using their school email. Once on the app, students will have the opportunity to post pictures of the books and furniture they are selling, and will be charged a small amount of money as a posting fee on our app. Potential buyers can use the app to search for the books/furniture/items they need, and can contact the seller to negotiate prices.
Our app will also have a messaging service allowing students to discuss services like tutoring, cleaning, and transportation. For these other services, students can post the skills they offer, and post fees for their services. The app will charge a fee to sellers offering their services.
We all know how unorganized college life can be, but with Sway we hope to save you time, money, and the stress of college life.
