Ropera is an app for Slack in which you can sell stuff to your colleagues with more trust. It creates local marketplaces for you inside Slack, in which you can post things to sell/buy.
Hi hunters! 👋
Selling items to strangers is not always easy. You have to trust the buyer and have an easy access to them. Also, for many people, communicating with strangers is not always easy.
But in many cases, you might have a colleague who happens to want the item you're selling. So why sell to strangers?
We had a Slack channel where we worked in which many items were being sold daily. But like any general purpose tool, it had problems. We focused on fixing those problems and created Ropera which is a Slack application, in which you can sell stuff to your colleagues.
Why should companies install Ropera on Slack?
✅ A Step Towards Sustainability: letting their employees trade second-hand stuff instead of everyone buying new things.
✅ Free Employee Perk for the Company: many people are not good at communicating with strangers. Let them enjoy buying and selling with trust.
✅ Save Time and Energy for their Employees: let their employees save time and energy by selling and buying items easily with each other, instead of strangers.
✅ Let New Connections Form Between Employees: Employees can make new friends and connect with people who don't work with.
Why sell items in Slack on Ropera?
👉 You trust your colleagues way more than any stranger
👉 You have easy access to your colleagues more than any stranger
👉 You can communicate with your colleagues better than strangers
So, why not create a Slack Channel instead?
👕 Anonymous posts: You don't want everyone to know that YOU are selling/buying something. You can post anonymously in Ropera.
📍 Location based listings: If your company has multiple offices in a city, or in several cities and countries, you can choose to post only for them, instead of creating multiple channels, or posting for everybody in your company.
🕵️♀️ Private offers: You want to sell the item to anyone you want, not just the first person who wants it.
🔴 No distractions: You have the ability to only get the digest daily, instead of being notified whenever everyone posts something.
😈 No unnecessary messages: When you want to sell/buy and item, you don't want people to post irrelevant comments to your post.
📌 Easy post management: Instead of searching for your own post to do edits or mark it as sold, you can manage your posts easily in Ropera.
And coming soon:
📈 Auctions: Want to sell to highest bidder? We will handle that for you seamlessly.
🗂 Categories of listings: Don't want to buy a car currently? You will be able to choose categories you want to see posts in, and mute the rest.

This is a great product. I remember back in my previous company we used to have slack channel to sell used items to each other and it was indeed way easier to sell items to people you already know and trust
Selling/Buying second-handed things are always satisfying to me. Because I'm a big fan of sustainability.
But the problem is that I cannot trust stragers. I prefer to sell/buy stuff to those who that I trust. Colleagues is a group of people that I can trust them, just like my family. (That's why we call them second family)
