How it works

A cozy way to swap the supplies you've outgrown.

The Hobby Closet is a marketplace for people who constantly pick up new hobbies, buy all the supplies, and later realize those supplies are sitting in a closet. Buy with credits, sell for cash, trade with a friend, or top off an uneven swap.

01

List what's collecting dust

Snap a few photos, pick a hobby, set a price or open it for trades. Bundles welcome. Our AI can even help write your title and description.

02

Trade, buy, or sell

Purchase supplies outright, or propose a trade. If a trade feels uneven, sweeten it with credits so both sides win.

03

Use hobby credits

Earn credits when you sell or complete a trade, then spend them on your next obsession. Credits move instantly, no checkout friction.

04

Chat and agree

Message buyers, sellers, or traders directly in the app. Negotiate, ask questions, and confirm the deal before anything ships.

05

Ship and track

Once a sale or trade is paid, print a prepaid label or drop off the package. Buyers and traders get live tracking updates along the way.

06

Complete and repeat

Mark delivery done, leave a review, and put your earnings back into your next hobby. Your closet stays tidy and your hobbies keep moving.

Bundles

What is a bundle?

A bundle is a curated set of hobby supplies sold or traded together as one item. Think of it as a starter kit for someone diving into a new hobby: a crochet bundle might include yarn, hooks, and stitch markers; a pottery bundle could pack clay, tools, and glazes. Bundles make it easier to list related supplies, attract beginners, and move more of your stash in one friendly swap.

Everything in one place

Group related supplies so a buyer or trader gets everything they need to start, not just one random tool.

Perfect for beginners

Mark a bundle as beginner-friendly and help newcomers find their first hobby kit without the guesswork.

Trade or sell as one

List a bundle for cash, open it for trades, or both. The whole kit moves together, keeping deals simple.

Built with trust in mind

Safe transactions

Payments run through Stripe with buyer protection and secure credit handling built in.

Counter with items, credits, or both. Trades are locked once both sides confirm and pay.

No judgement

We're all hobbyists here. Pick things up, put things down, and pass the supplies along.
