Minimum Viable Product: Validate Your Startup Idea for Less than $1,000

Anil, can you clarify if you are talking about garage or neighborhood sales, or just any types of sales in general (like those that happen in craigslist)? Maybe it could be both. I am intrigued by this notion of having a centralized "garage" sale function where people can track items and items are posted by when/where they are on sale. In your explanation to brian below, though, I think you hit this notion on the head of items for sale and defining neighborhoods.

My Concept is Based on Garage Sale -But it could Include Both Where People may like to Sell their Second Hand Stuff -Which they expect to get Good Value &amp; Buy a New One instead -eg Like Iphone 

Hey Anil,

I'm really interested in neighborhood sales because I'm actually looking for something more convenient than Craigslist.

How large of an area would you consider a neighborhood?

Also, can you give an example of how I would use Movifyt? For example, I'm looking for old Pokemon cards and I want to sell my iPod.

You would express Interest in thing -that you need to Buy -Like Wishlist . Once thats selling in Neigbhorhood -Where you could define with X distance ,It will let you notify ..This is for Sale in Neighborhood by (X) -Eg Pokeman . For Selling - You would Post the Item -Upload Pic , Specify Country ,City , Zipcode . Person Interested would express Interest in Buying - &amp; have Option to Map it ( Address that you would specify would be Hidden in your Profile -Not viewable to Others ) .Neighborhood is based on the Distance -Person is willing to go to Buy the Item 

Hey Brian, have you used Zaarly? Anil, it may be something that you could look into to get some ideas... - http://www.crunchbase.com/company/zaarly

Sounds like you have a lot of things going on, but from what I understand you want users to upload things they want to sell and others to 'subscribe' to what they want, and when there's a match you alert the potential buyer and drive them through the sales funnel?

If thats the case then I'd test the concept on craigslist, put up an ad saying you will help people find what they are looking for, maybe focus on a particular category like home/kitchen furniture and see if someone is interested. If they are then try and find that person what they want via ebay/etsy/a local retailer. 

How do we go abt Testing on Craiglist -When Most of the Ads Posted dont have Proper Phone Number/Email address .. 

USA is a Country with Lots of Immigrants &amp; also Other people. Every now &amp; then - People move maybe due to Retirement /Job Transfer ( from One City to Another ) / Moving back to Home Country for Good -People Who arent Happy . Want to Bring this Concept of Neighborhood Sale -Where people can find out whats Selling in Neighborhood -People Post What They want to Sell -with Zipcode &amp; &nbsp;Category (eg : Camera -Electronics, Car etc) &amp; Price-People Subscribe to Stuff - Based on this Category whats being sold in Neighborhood , Get Automatic Alert ( An App ) Informing them - Based on Interests , Whats being sold in Neignborhood . Person would say _ I am Interested - Allowing Person to Share his Contact with Person Selling Stuff&nbsp; -Requesting a Demo with the Seller (via Webex) ..Then Deal -Once done , Stuff would Go out from that Store Database
