Bookoo is closer to craigslist, but more local and family-friendly. Unlike eBay, we don't collect any fees on transactions, nor are items shipped. All the magic happens close to home....
Yes! And it's completely free. Though we thoroughly believe in the power of the internet, we fully support the old-fashioned way (and we participate it in ourselves!).
Just create an account and you will then be able to post your sale! We'll even give everyone a map right to your house.
And remember, if you don't sell everything you wanted to, come back and post your items here!
Nope. You can list for free! If you want more pictures, bold titles, longer descriptions, and other cool features, sign up for a Unlimited account. If you are a world-renowned penny pincher, you can list items for free. You don't get any pictures, bold titles, long descriptions, etc., but you DO get your items listed. We obviously recommend a Premiere account. You have a greater chance of selling your items with the aforementioned features (and the money helps us keep the site running smoothly).
No. You are encouraged to contact the seller through the site, but that does not commit you to anything, by any means. It's just like a live sale: just because you ask for more information about the item doesn't commit you to anything. Unless you have a guilty conscience or are overly nice.
We'd love to have you live closer. You are still free to buy and sell as you please, but it may make it more inconvenient for sellers/buyers, making the exchange less likely. Like a live sale. We have lots of requests to launch bookoo in other communities. And you can be a part of it. Sign the petition for more information.

"Flagging" is community voting. Think of it like Summerville Yard Sales
"Survivor", where those items flagged most are voted off the system.
Occasionally we find people that find
ways to abuse the system, and since we're all part of the
Summerville Yard Sales
community, the community
votes on what you post. Prohibited? Excessive reposting? Not really an item?
You're outta here! If an item is flagged a certain number of times (and we change that
from time to time), then that item is removed automatically. Here are the types
of flags:
The Money Tree allows you to obsessively track how much money you have made on
your online sale. It keeps track of all the items that you have
marked as "SOLD" (don't delete them!), and calculates your earnings based on the
price of your items. When you make your first million, please send us
a postcard.
