A new kind of marketplace

Stop searching.
Start asking.

The marketplace where buyers post what they need and sellers come to them. Plus everything you'd expect from a local buy-and-sell app.

📢

Post a Need

Tell the marketplace what you're looking for. Sellers with matching items reach out to you directly.

💰

List & Sell

Browse the traditional marketplace, list your items, set prices, and connect with local buyers.

Two sides of the same marketplace.

01

Post what you need

Looking for a specific couch? Need a bike for under $200? Post it. Your request goes live on the Needs Board for local sellers to see.

02

Sellers respond

People with matching items reach out with photos, prices, and details. You pick the best offer instead of endlessly scrolling.

03

Or browse and buy

The full marketplace is still there. Search listings, message sellers, make deals. Same local buy-and-sell you know, plus something better.

Built different on purpose.

Every other marketplace only works one way: sellers list, buyers search. That leaves half the equation unsolved.

  • Demand-first design

    Buyers broadcast needs. Sellers respond. Deals happen faster because demand already exists.

  • Hybrid marketplace

    Traditional listings and a Needs Board in one app. No need to choose between browsing and requesting.

  • Local-first, always

    Built for your neighborhood. Starting in the Seattle metro. Real people, real deals, real close.

  • Trust built in

    Verified profiles, ratings, and response metrics so you know who you're dealing with before you meet up.

I just want to post that I need a dresser under $150 and have people come to me instead of scrolling through 400 random listings.

The problem NeedMet solves

The marketplace that starts with what you actually want.

NeedMet flips local commerce. Instead of hoping someone lists what you need, you tell the market. And the market responds.
