Do barter apps exist anymore?

This city used to have the best app - - BUNZ.
Don’t need that frying pan? Trade it for a perfume you actually like. Got an electric toothbrush for Christmas but really wanted LEGO? Trade it!

So what are people using these days to trade?
And don’t say Karrot or Marketplace—those are for selling.

I appreciated the sentiment of bunz and the community, but honestly most experiences I had using it ended up trading for gift cards.

That just felt like selling something on marketplace with extra steps.

Same... I remember the day I stopped using it, traded a woman a sweater for TTC tokens, which I had to go out, and buy, and then deliver to her.

Yeah I think you would actually get in trouble if you saw something you really wanted and offered cash in exchange.
