What This Is

Skip Davey isn’t some faceless app run by a supercomputer that secretly sells your data while you sleep.

It’s a marketplace powered by actual humans. The kind who:

  • Trade things they don’t need for things they actually want.
  • Offer their time, skills, or slightly strange talents (we’re looking at you, guy who tunes pianos and bakes sourdough).
  • And when they’re feeling generous—or just want their stuff gone faster—they toss in a little extra.

We call it incentivizing. You might call it “making things happen.”

Why Add an Incentive?

Because you’ve tried listing that old chair before. And guess what? It’s still in your basement.
Here, you offer the chair… and throw in a free coffee, a Spotify playlist that makes people feel things, or that plant that somehow survived three years of neglect.

Real Incentives. Real People. Real Fast.

  • “Buy my record player. I’ll throw in the album that got me through my last breakup. You’re welcome.”
  • “Pickup today, and I’ll throw in a bottle of wine that’s either amazing or terrible. Adventure.”
  • “Hire me for yard work. I’ll also explain why your neighbor’s lawn is objectively worse.”

What Our Members Say

“Sold my Pokemon cards, bought a sense of purpose.”

I’d been using my Pokemon cards as an emotional crutch. Listed them on Skip Davey with an incentive of friendship. Now it’s gone, I have cash for coffee and a vague feeling that I participated in society. That’s worth something, right?

“It didn’t fix my life, but my garage is empty.”

Posted ten boxes of junk with a modest incentive. A person showed up, took everything, handed me a crumpled fiver and left. The silence in my garage now echoes louder than my existential dread. Eleven stars.

“My therapist says I should stop crediting Skip Davey for everything. I can’t.”

I gave away an old set of encyclopedias with a $10 incentive and a promise to teach basic Excel. A data scientist claimed them, taught me pivot tables and introduced me to her book club. Two months later I’m co‑authoring a sci‑fi novella and have discovered a love of spreadsheets. Skip Davey didn’t just help me declutter my office; it set me on a path of intellectual enlightenment. I refuse to imagine a world without it.

“From rock bottom to rock star—thanks, Skip Davey.”

Six months ago, I was living in my friend’s basement surrounded by mismatched mugs and broken dreams. Desperate, I listed my last possession—a lava lamp—with a “will bake cookies for cash” incentive. Within hours, a local baker showed up with cash, a job offer and a stray cat. Now I run a pastry empire, the cat has its own Instagram, and I’m pretty sure Skip Davey is responsible for 97 % of my personal growth. Without this app, I’d still be burning water.

“Sold a box of Beanie Babies, found enlightenment.”

I tossed up my 1990s Beanie Baby collection with a $15 kicker, fully expecting mockery. Instead, a collector arrived dressed like a pirate, paid me, and bestowed a treasure map for the ‘Lost City of Loserville’, suggesting a potential future for myself.

“Found a roommate who doesn’t mind my hound dog and my cornbread.”

My spare room had more dust bunnies than a field at Easter. I offered fifty dollars and a month of home‑cooked meals to anyone willin’ to move in. Skip Davey brought me a bass player with a pickup truck and an appreciation for collard greens. He pays his rent, he loves my cookin’, and he even taught my dog to howl in harmony. Shoot, I might never be alone again.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a marketplace. It’s a community. It’s also a thinly veiled excuse for people to offer weird incentives so stuff actually gets done. You can buy things, sell things, offer services, and sometimes just trade random life advice for a really good sandwich. It’s basically the economy – but fun again.

Because incentives make the world go ‘round.
Need your couch gone today? Add a little extra—coffee, cash, or a playlist that’ll make someone feel like the main character in a moody indie film. Watch how fast people show up.
It’s not bribery. It’s motivation. Completely different. Probably.

Safer than your last dating app experience, that’s for sure.
We’re built on accountability and community reviews. People here follow through, because their reputation is worth more than whatever they’re selling. And if someone doesn’t? The community remembers. Oh, we remember.

Honestly? Pretty much anything.

– Got stuff? Post it.
– Got skills? Offer them.
– Got time? Help someone move a couch and feel like a hero.
– Got nothing but an old collection of obscure movie trivia? Weird flex, but someone’s probably into it.

The point is: everyone has something to offer. Even you, guy reading this in sweatpants.

Nope. We’re allergic to fake engagement metrics and “just checking in!” notifications.
This is a place where things happen, not where things pretend to happen while you waste an hour of your life scrolling and wondering why Sharon from high school is still posting motivational cat posters.

It’s free. Seriously. Free to join, free to post, free to find that person who’s finally going to take that exercise bike you’ve been using as a coat rack.

You might actually like it here.
And you might get things done faster than you’re emotionally prepared for.

Other than that? No catch. Just people helping people, sweetened by the occasional free coffee, bottle of wine, or that one playlist that makes you question everything.

The Commune Vibe

No hard sells. No corporate nonsense. Just people helping people… and occasionally bribing them with baked goods.

If that sounds like your kind of place, it is.
