The Markeplace is based on our Extreme Transparency Commerce (ETC) model. ETC is where we show you the invoice for what we paid on each item, tell you our costs to get that item to you, then ask you to name your price. Let us make a few bucks to pay our bills and we in turn, will give you a great deal. It’s that simple. 

Growing up in the countryside north of Manhattan, we were inspired by the mom and pop shops that served their neighbors using the honor system. We appreciated the community aspect and trust that comes along with this system, and wanted to bring a version of it to the internet. As such, we came up with Extreme Transparency Commerce (ETC).

Based on the honor system, we depend on our “neighbors” to be fair with us when naming their own price and we in turn, are fair with you by showing what we paid. 

You would be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere. So list your items or start shopping and name your own price. We look forward to serving you, neighbor.
