Find something worth going for.
See what’s turning up in nearby secondhand stores and spot a one-off piece you’d rather not miss.
Local secondhand. One-off finds.
We’re building Opdrops, an iPhone app that brings one-off pieces from nearby secondhand stores to your screen, so you can spot something worth the trip before you walk through the door.
In development. Preparing a small Melbourne pilot.
How it works
From a piece on your screen to a find in your hands. Here’s the experience we’re building.
01
See what’s turning up in nearby secondhand stores and spot a one-off piece you’d rather not miss.
02
Where holds are offered, send a request through the app. The store checks availability and confirms whether it can hold the item.
03
Once your hold is confirmed, collect within the agreed time and pay at the store.
A request is not a confirmed hold.
For stores
Opdrops is being built to help local shoppers discover selected pieces from your store, without asking you to put every item online. You choose what to feature and which hold requests to accept.
Research into Melbourne’s secondhand stores and direct operator conversations have shaped a focused first test: selected stock, local discovery and store-confirmed pickup.
The next step is a small, founder-assisted pilot to find out whether those discoveries bring new shoppers through the door without adding a pile of work for staff.
Offer an introduction, share a thought, or pick up a conversation with Matayo, the founder of Opdrops.
Especially useful right now: introductions to independently run secondhand fashion stores, including rent-a-rack, consignment and multi-vendor businesses.
