Ossi, a seasoned ecommerce and logistics professional, and his wife, had their first baby in the spring of 2013. It was obvious to them that it makes both ecological and financial sense to buy second hand. Most baby gear are in perfect condition after one or two previous owners, and cost a fraction of the new equivalents, let alone the environmental footprint of producing new.
Unfortunately, the local flea markets didn’t have everything Ossi’s family needed. As an online retail professional, Ossi finally found all the missing items from various internet marketplaces. But the effort of doing that was certainly a major unnecessary hassle in the house with a newborn.
Scanning through Facebook groups and various classifieds sites, negotiating prices and delivery costs, agreeing shipments and trying to avoid fraudulent sellers was all too much when searching for dozens of necessities worth a few euros each. And it wasn’t once or twice when the perfect product-seller-delivery-payment match led to nothing, as the product had already been sold to someone else.
Of course, the problem was not confined to new parents. Many of us have too many unused items at home that we simply could not get to new homes with reasonable effort. Most people had thousands of euros lying in their shelves and cupboards, simply because there was no way to monetize them easily. All of us need something new almost daily, but most of us prefer buying a 2nd hand product if it is easily available.
By the time the baby was crawling, Ossi had decided to fix the problem. He wanted to create an online space where all products for normal life can find a second home after they are not needed any more. Not only the expensive and prestigious ones, but also everything we needed for our daily lives some months ago, but not anymore.
Europe is full of products that are not being used by the owner, but that are still valuable for someone else. The monetary value of each product is low, but making all these products move effortlessly around Europe to those who need them next was Ossi’s dream. This dream became Netflea.com.
