The Importance of Smart Phones while Picking

There is in inherent need for knowledge on items which you plan to buy.  With the invention of the internet we have a treasure trove of this knowledge.  What is even better is that now we have this information available to us on the go.  This entry is going to be featuring some mobile apps that are available on the Android OS a lot of them as well on the iOS.

1.  The Official Ebay App; this is particularly good for pricing things on the go.  I would suggest not doing this in front of the person from whom your are buying your products.  This, of course, is also good for watching your treasures as they go up in price for auction on the interwebz.


2.  Craigslist PRO; this app can also be used for pricing.  This is most useful for finding items you want to buy, finding garage or estate sales, and posting your finds on the go.  This makes it easy to find something at a garage sale, post it on craigslist, make the sale, and all in the same day.  One of the many options you have if you upgrade to the "pro edition" is that you can have a lot more "favorited" posts, meaning that all the garage sales you want to go to are more easily accessible.


3.  Garage Sale Rover; the name says it all here.  It pulls information from numerous different sites and displays it on a map of your local area.  This is quite useful if you just plan to wake up and head to a garage sale, not to mention it also find estate sales.  Compared to similar apps, Garage Sale Rover seems like the best according to reviews.  Once I tried it I felt no need to take a look any further.
They also have a blog about garage sales here.


If there are any other apps you use when picking leave them in a comment!  Or you can simply send me an email. 

I will continue to add on to this list as I find more awesome mobile apps for your picking pleasure.
