While other buy-and-sell sneaker apps have gained their own buzz and success, Flip is the first app that specifically caters to speed when selling. Founded by Kemar Newell, Flip has been described as the "[eBay](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebay-1) for the [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-shoe-try-on) generation." Much like other sneaker-selling apps, this application provides a platform where sneaker enthusiasts can [buy-and-sell through a curated marketplace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/online-auction-format). However, what sets Flip apart is the guarantee that every item will sell within 90 minutes. Within the app, buyers can tap auctions that interest them to find all relevant details and be instantly notified when an auction is live so they can place their best offer. For sellers, Flip carefully considers each listing and approves the best ones with a Guaranteed Sale Price (GSP) to start off each auction. Flip makes buying easy, fast and exciting for dedicated sneaker buffs. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Speedy Selling:** Developing an app or platform that guarantees quick sales can disrupt the e-commerce industry. - **Curated Marketplace:** Creating a platform that curates and approves listings can revolutionize the buy-and-sell market. - **Real-time Notifications:** Integrating instant notifications for buyers can offer new opportunities for engaging with customers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **E-commerce:** Implementing a fast and efficient selling process can transform the e-commerce industry. - **Buy-and-sell Market:** Innovating a curated marketplace can disrupt the traditional buy-and-sell market. - **Mobile Applications:** Developing real-time notification features in mobile apps can enhance user experience and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Asset Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flippa.md) - [AI Resale Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-app.md) - [Mixed-Reality Shopping Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-vision-pro-shopping-app.md) - [Collectible Virtual Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stepn-go-x-casio.md) - [Virtual Sneaker Authentication Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-authentication.md) - [Virtual Pop-Up Shop Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-up-shop-app.md) - [Sneaker Collector Preorder Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-snkrs-reserve.md) - [Next-Gen Sneaker Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/store-of-the-future-concept.md) - [Frictionless QR-Based Resale Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebay-1.md)
