1. Duriana: With over 100k listings on their platform, Duriana prides itself for having a diverse inventory
As a social marketplace, Duriana’s inventory is not only vast but also diverse, spanning across many types of categories, which include pre-loved, home furnishing, fashion and electronics. Users can browse through an exciting catalogue of items powered by a host of different sellers – from your normal next door neighbour looking to cash in on pre-loved goods to creative Etsy-type merchants and independent blog shops.

What makes Duriana stand out is that it comes with a location-based feature, enabling users to view listings close to them. This feature allows buyers and sellers to have real time communication.
Download Duriana on Google Playstore and iTunes.
2. Carousell: The Singapore based app is one of the most popular marketplace app in South East Asia
The Carousell app aims to make online person-to-person buying and selling accessible and simple for the emerging smartphone generation worldwide. With Carousell, sellers can snap a photo and list an item for sale and buyers can purchase items just by chatting with sellers via an in-built private chat messenger.

Carousell is a lot like Instagram because the app comes pre-loaded with a wide variety of filters. If you love to beautify your items or give your listings a little magic touch, Carousell is the app for you!

3. Shpock: The app describes itself as a "flea market in your pocket" with a variety of goods for sale, from books to clothes
Shpock describes itself as “a flea market in your pocket”, and it couldn’t be a more accurate description: scrolling through the feed is like strolling around bazaars and boot sales. And like a flea market, the app is visually appealing and allows you to negotiate prices. You can also shop and sell your items quickly by snapping a picture, writing a short description, and setting a price.
Very similar to Duriana, Shpock is a marketplace that allows users to sell a wide variety of items. But what makes this app special is the concept of a flea market, which allows users to sell off an item quickly. Thus, makes it suitable for people who are on the go.

4. CLOSETStyles: A marketplace app targeted at women, CLOSETStyles aims to be the place for women to sell and buy pre-loved clothes
Launched last month, ClosetStyles is a marketplace app for women to buy and sell “pre-loved” clothes. Users simply take a photo of an item they wish to sell and then list it in the app. The app carries brands ranging from ZARA to Chanel, and buyers can get them for up to 80 percent off retail prices.
