As Nigerian consumers increasingly seek quality preloved items over often costly and sometimes inferior new products, Scavenge emerges as a peer-to-peer e-commerce platform dedicated to preloved goods.
Designed to facilitate the buying, selling, and donating of second-hand items. Scavenge is a community-driven marketplace where users can effortlessly list items they no longer need, browse a diverse array of pre-owned products from nearby sellers, and negotiate prices directly.
“Scavenge app is tailored to simplify the buying, selling, and donating of new and second-hand items, making it local and sustainable.”
With its user-friendly interface, Scavenge empowers individuals to declutter their spaces, discover unique bargains, and minimize waste by keeping items in circulation. The app promotes community-driven transactions, featuring easy-to-use tools and a secure payment system.
Shipping costs are kept affordable and determined by user agreement on suitable delivery methods. Scavenge provides a refreshing, safe, and straightforward platform for buyers and sellers of second-hand goods, particularly in the fashion sector, while encouraging eco-conscious consumerism.
What sets Scavenge apart from other e-commerce platforms is its blend of commerce and community goodwill. Users are not just limited to selling preloved items but also donate them, nurturing a culture of giving and reuse.
As sustainability and charitable donations gain traction, this feature fosters a more conscious form of consumerism, empowering individuals to make a positive impact in their communities.
Users are not just limited to selling preloved items but also donate them, nurturing a culture of giving and reuse.
Moreover, the App’s Item Request feature allows users to seek specific items that may not be listed in the inventory. This is particularly valuable for buyers in search of unique or hard-to-find goods. Users can include their budget and location when making requests to foster community-based trading.
Scavenge transcends traditional listings, cultivating a flexible platform where users can sell, donate, or request specific preloved items.
One of Scavenge’s standout features is its escrow payment system, addressing common concerns around the safety of online transactions.
Upon purchase, the seller’s payment is held in an escrow account until the buyer confirms satisfaction with the received item. This layer of security is essential, particularly in the preloved goods market, where item conditions can vary significantly, ensuring protection for both parties involved.
To support sellers, Scavenge offers two affordable subscription options—Wardrobe and Spotlight—encouraging individuals to promote their items for quicker sales.
● The Wardrobe plan, priced at ₦1,000 per month, allows sellers to list between 3 and 10 items in premium spots on the homepage, ensuring enhanced visibility for their offerings. This option is ideal for those looking to showcase multiple items and attract buyers over a period of 1 month.
● The Spotlight plan, available at a daily rate of ₦200, enables sellers to promote individual items for 24 hours, catering to users seeking immediate sales or heightened attention on specific products. These flexible subscription models make Scavenge a cost-effective platform for both casual sellers and dedicated merchants.
Scavenge is developed by Michofat Konsult Limited, a prominent software company in Nigeria. The CEO, Dr. Afeez Babatunde Siyanbola, is a distinguished Senior UX Designer, educator, and entrepreneur with extensive experience in Nigeria’s technology sector.
