Kincsems

Kincsems is a Hungarian online platform and mobile application that specializes in the buying, selling, and trading of second-hand goods. Launched in 2015, the platform operates as a marketplace where users can list items ranging from electronics and furniture to clothing, books, and toys. It emphasizes sustainability by encouraging the reuse and resale of pre-owned products, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.

The platform operates on a commission-based model, where sellers typically pay a small fee when their items are purchased. Kincsems also offers a verification system to ensure the legitimacy of transactions, particularly for high-value items. Users can communicate directly with buyers and sellers through the app or website, facilitating secure exchanges, often in person at designated meeting points.

In addition to its core marketplace function, Kincsems has expanded its services to include pickup and delivery options for certain items, as well as a "Kincsems Box" subscription service for users who prefer a hassle-free resale experience. The platform has gained popularity in Hungary, with a growing user base and a reputation for reliability and ease of use.

Kincsems has also been recognized for its role in promoting environmental awareness, as it helps divert used goods from landfills. The company has partnered with various organizations to support sustainability initiatives, further reinforcing its commitment to eco-friendly practices. While primarily active in Hungary, the platform has attracted attention for its innovative approach to e-commerce and sustainable consumption.
