# Junk-Selling Concierge Services This Company Helps Consumers Sell Unwanted Items By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-01-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sell-unwanted-items References: [techcrunch](http://techcrunch.com/2016/01/26/gone-the-service-for-selling-your-old-junk-goes-live-in-seattle-and-bay-area/?ncid=rss) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/app/id874081936?mt=8) 'Gone Concierge' is a unique service that helps consumers sell unwanted items. While there are a number of platforms for [selling used goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-preowned), this company differs in that it does all the work for you. Gone Concierge helps consumers sell unwanted items without the hassle of dealing with the exchange process. To use the service, consumers simply take a picture of the item they wish to sell and the company will do the rest. Unlike other [junk-selling services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiffy-junk), Gone Concierge picks up the item directly, packages it, sells it and then ships it. Once the item has arrived at its new home, the company sends the seller a check. Gone Concierge is largely targeted at consumers who do not have time to deal with the logistics of the [traditional resale process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-ai). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Concierge-junk Selling:** The trend of concierge junk selling services offers convenience and efficiency for consumers looking to sell unwanted items. - **Automated Selling Platforms:** The rise of automated selling platforms like Gone Concierge provides an opportunity to streamline the process of selling used goods. - **End-to-end Resale Services:** The emergence of end-to-end resale services, such as Gone Concierge, simplifies the selling process for consumers by handling all the steps from pick-up to payment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can benefit from integrating concierge junk selling services, offering customers a seamless selling experience. - **Logistics:** The logistics industry can explore partnerships with automated selling platforms to optimize pick-up and delivery processes for selling used goods. - **Financial Services:** Financial service providers can tap into the opportunity presented by end-to-end resale services, offering payment solutions and streamlined transactions for sellers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [eCommerce Consignment Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebay-consignment.md) - [Luxury Consignment Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consignment-service.md) - [Selling Automation Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selling-automation.md) - [Seamless Second-Hand Retail Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consignment-retailers.md) - [Streamlined Pallet Management Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pallet-concierge.md) - [Full-Service Furniture Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-offer.md) - [NFT Concierge Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonpay-concierge.md) - [Online Luxury Resale Platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-consignment-platform.md) - [AI Resale Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-app.md)
