About vendi:

vendi is a person-to-person marketplace for quality products, starting with phones. As a seller, take two pictures and the item is listed and priced for you (using Machine Learning powered models). As a buyer, all items are verified by the vendi network.

Peer-to-peer marketplaces are great but lack trust, relevance, and quality. They have set out to create the Amazon of peer-to-peer. You will never get scammed on vendi and they offer doing the logistics and all the hassle of communication for you, maintaining the best prices in the market for new and pre-owned devices.
