## Buyer Intent Signals
Problems: Garage Sales / Flea Markets: Traditional methods of buying and selling used items in a local, in-person setting, lacking the broad reach and convenience of an online platform. | Consignment Stores / Pawn Shops: Physical stores that sell goods on behalf of owners or offer loans against personal property, providing a curated but often more restrictive buying/selling experience. | Keeping Unused Items / Not Buying Secondhand: The alternative of not participating in the secondhand market, either by retaining unused possessions or purchasing only new items.
Solutions: What is Mercari? | What types of items can I buy on Mercari? | Does Mercari sell new or used items? | Craigslist / Local Classifieds: Online classified advertisement services for local buying and selling, often less structured and with fewer protections than dedicated marketplaces.
