Description

Nowadays it is easy to find thrift stores and thrift sales at any nook and corner in this world as fashion has become a great trend disregarding the age limit and gender. All thrift store owners and thrift vendors are relying on their customers who visit the stores and stalls to fulfill their own need for getting second hand items. This is seen in developed countries such as the United states ,United Kingdom and China. Therefore, it is important to provide those customers with the items they desire from their stalls or stores. From the other side, to make the thrifting experience better and to enhance the good names of the stores and the vendor’s satisfaction also needs to be fulfilled. Not only that the income earns by selling the items to the customers and be able to monitor their reviews.
The website application is the solution to upgrade the manual method of business transaction between the thrift vendors and customers. Currently with the manual method of business transaction it is hard to book an item .It is also hard to keep record of sales and keep track of the inventory of the items in one’s stall or store. It is hard for one to find an item they desire online as most online stores only sell brand new items .Some of the online sites that sell second hand items are not legit and end up stealing from a customer asking them to pay for a down payment and don’t end up supplying the items stated. The available stores sell their items on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp so if you have no prior knowledge of the people on the platforms then it is difficult to find items desired.
