Dormsell has one simple mission: reduce as much dorm waste as possible. Every year, thousands of perfectly good items get thrown away when students move out. Dormsell is building that solution to keep these items in circulation, save students money, and create a more sustainable campus community.
Let's be real. Selling your old dorm stuff is a total pain. You finally decide to get rid of that mirror, so you blast out a dorm-wide email. Then the chaos starts. You're constantly emailing people back and forth, trying to schedule meetups, and worse, you have to waste time making a random Google Slide with blurry pics just to sell one thing. It's a massive, annoying time-suck, and it makes you want to keep the junk just to avoid the headache.
And buying is just as bad! Scrolling through emails not knowing if the item is still available or not. What if you could just open a website and instantly see every mirror for sale right now and confirm it's available with a single click? Welcome to Dormsell.
