Easier than buying easy. \n\nYou just have to text us a photo of what you want to sell and we’ll find you a buyer.\n\n![firstmessage](https://sjvqlzjpxgbsqfphrsbe.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/others//rid-first-message-short-cropped-final.gif)\n\nBehind the scenes, we first become experts on your product. Imagine a dedicated sales person for each of your items.\n\n![product-dashboard](https://sjvqlzjpxgbsqfphrsbe.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/others//product-dashboard-v2.png)\n\nAfter we understand what you’re selling, the real magic begins. We will find the person who is looking to buy exactly what you’re selling.\n\nThe next text message you get from Rid will coordinate us picking up the item from you.\n\n![buyer](https://sjvqlzjpxgbsqfphrsbe.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/others//rid-buyer.gif)\n\nThat’s all. You’ve sold your thing. \n\nIn the background our AI agents are working hard to provide you this frictionless experience. Handling listings, selecting markets, negotiating with buyers, and answering questions.\n\nWhether you're moving, cleaning out your closet, or looking to make a little extra cash, let us sell your stuff – no headache.\n\nFor now we’re launching only in the Bay Area, but if you’re elsewhere text Rid your zip code and we’ll notify you when we’ve launched in your area.\n\n**Who are we?**\n\nBenedikt and Veniamin met during their PhDs at Princeton, where they worked on language models. Now they’re excited to bring their expertise to agentifying resale.\n\nIf you want to chat about resale or have product recommendations, email us at [founders@rid.me](mailto:founders@rid.me).\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/thqVjE_xYh4","slug":"O76-rid-sell-with-a-text","created_at":"2025-08-04T14:56:14.689Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:45:11.381Z","total_vote_count":94,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/O76-rid-sell-with-a-text","share_image_url":"https://sjvqlzjpxgbsqfphrsbe.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/others//rid-first-message-short-cropped-final.gif","company":{"id":30566,"name":"Preseen","slug":"preseen","url":"https://preseen.com","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/d3f865392a561957ea87a2b63d31fc9ba6611e6d.png","batch":"Summer 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30566"}}
