Gone Lite can be described as a safer alternative to Craigslist and other similar online marketplaces. It concentrates solely on second-hand electronics in an effort to provide people with a place to sell and buy verified products. Gone isn't a new service, but instead of its original business model of physically picking up items and bringing them to an actual market, Gone Lite provides more efficiency and less effort.
Of course, the original idea has also been repackaged as Gone Concierge, which recently launched in Manhattan. But those living outside of its main markets, Austin, Seattle and the Bay Area, will benefit from Gone Lite. Gone Lite provides users with packing materials and shipping labels to send off their own stuff.
