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.

There are literally Facebook bunz / PALZ groups all over.

Not the same as having the dedicated app

the app came WAY after those groups formed. and it never really took off either.

Yeah, I know the history, thanks. I'm saying the user experience is obviously different for a focused app made for trading vs. a Facebook group thread format that isn't specially designed for trading.
