About Pickins
We're building community back into commerce—one garage sale at a time.
The Story
There's something special about Saturday morning garage sales—the treasure hunting, the deals, the community conversations that happen over coffee and cardboard boxes. But finding them was always a hassle: driving around looking for signs, checking Facebook groups scattered across five different communities, calling sellers to confirm they were still open.
I built Pickins to change that. Not because I wanted to create another app, but because the community deserved better. Sellers needed a way to reach real buyers without paying commissions. Shoppers needed to see what was happening in their neighborhood on one map. Organizers needed to coordinate community-wide events.
Pickins is what happens when you put the community first: free listings, no hidden fees, real neighbors helping real neighbors find deals and make connections.
