- List Items: Post items for sale with descriptions and photos
- Browse Listings: Search and filter available items
- Connect: Reach out to sellers within the campus community
- Manage Posts: Edit or remove listings as needed

Motivation
Campus communities often need a dedicated space for buying and selling items—textbooks, furniture, electronics, and more. This project provides that space specifically for Macalester students, making transactions safer and more convenient than general marketplaces.
