Abstract

Trading in college isn't as straightforward or secure as some might assume. Platforms like Facebook Marketplace and eBay, commonly used by college students, pose significant risks of theft and scams. Introducing the 'Almari' app, a modern solution tailored to the needs of college students in the United States. Almari functions as a specialized marketplace, designed as a web application where college students can safely buy, sell, and exchange items. Users will access Almari through a web browser, logging in with their email addresses associated with their respective schools. This system mirrors the approach of YikYak, allowing students to access their school's dedicated server using their school email accounts. Once logged in, users can create profiles and list items for sale within their college community. They can provide detailed information about each product, including the title, price, photos, description, and condition (ranging from excellent to poor). Users can utilize advanced search and filtering options based on criteria such as price range, condition, or category. Additionally, Users can use the chat feature to exchange credentials such as student IDs and communicate effectively to ensure secure transactions .
