Jenelle owns and operates a local vintage furniture rental business called ‘A Peach and A Pear’. She caters to photographers, event planners, and anyone who needs the look and feel of eras past. As such, she is always on the search for interesting pieces to add to her collection, which can often be hard to come by. Having heard about Ubokia from a friend, she decided to give it a try and post a Want for vintage couches.

Soon enough, she was connected to a woman in her community who had some old couches to sell that were just sitting in her garage because she was reluctant to try posting them on Craigslist. She came across Jenelle’s listing for vintage couches while browsing Wants and immediately contacted her knowing she had exactly what Jenelle wanted. After a brief negotiation, the deal was done and Jenelle picked up the couches and both parties were satisfied.

Jenelle was able to get two great vintage couches to add to her collection and grow her business and the seller was able to turn unwanted furniture into cash. Posting her Want on Ubokia also saved Jenelle tons of time as well as allowed her to get a great deal. Are you looking for something specific that you have a hard time finding anywhere else?
