Now I know what to do with all the gadgets that have piled up over the years... And the amount spent on them...

I have been using Shelf since the very early days and it has been a great experience. I love the evolution of the product to share my product knowledge with friends and vice versa. Go team Shelf!

My wife and I love this product! Verified owners reviewing stuff they use --> bringing the power of Amazon-like reviews to the rest of the web.

What has changed about the idea since the landing page first appeared in 2014 and now?
Dayo Esho
@rigadoohaus thanks for noticing! Our launch today is an extension of the work we started in 2014. Back then we started out testing out the idea with limited tech (supporting only a handful of online stores), and Shelf didn’t offer the ability to share product experiences. With today’s launch we support over 50 stores, allow Amazon sync, have a more robust private inventory (you can sort by category/year/store), and allow you to sell your stuff on popular marketplaces.

Really like the Amazon/Gmail integration as a way to populate the list! Made it super easy to get started. Also shout out to your design team! Love the minimalist, clean design. This does remind me a bit of http://kit.com/, what do you guys think is your major differentiator? Is it, allowing the user to sell their products?
Dayo Esho
@eighttwo_three thanks for the kind words! We know some of the folks at kit and have a lot of respect for them. We think the difference lies in your private inventory on Shelf. A large portion of our users tell us that they're reminded of things they forgot they had, which leads them to share product experiences they wouldn't have otherwise. Also, your inventory is created using our sync technology, which means the product experiences shared on shelf are from verified purchases. Finally, like you mentioned, Shelf users can easily get rid of things they no longer need.
