Offer Up App Cool App that helps you sell your clutter to local neighbors, making pick-ups MUCH easier and much more likely to sell your items. Highly Recommend! Download this free app today and start taking pictures of your worthy items. Advice: If it's under $50 resell value--donate it and get that tax write-off receipt.
