How to find something locally on Wantie
Wantie is a reverse marketplace. You post the item and the budget; nearby sellers reply in Messages on the site — not by email. Deals close off-platform.
Madison, Wisconsin and Philadelphia are the live supply hubs, with neighborhood pages (West Philly, Langdon, campus, and the rest) that list real open Wants. Other US city slugs work too — /in/sioux-city, /in/champaign, /in/belleville (Michigan, Detroit metro), /in/san-francisco, /in/nyc, /in/dallas, or any real place name. If nobody has posted there yet, the list is empty. That is not a fake seller count.
To find a dresser in West Philly, open the West Philly dresser page. You will see live public Wants when they exist, plus a button to post your own.

Common questions
How do I find something locally on Wantie?
Open a city page (/in/madison, /in/philadelphia) or an item page (for example a dresser in West Philly). Live public Wants appear when someone has actually posted one. If the list is empty or short, nearby sellers are thin — post a Want and they reply in Messages.
How do I post what I want to buy?
Go to Post a Want, describe the item, set a budget, add a location, and publish. Nearby sellers reply in Messages on Wantie. Wantie does not email you about offers.
Will I get an email when a seller replies?
No. Replies show up in Messages. Turn on notifications or save your private link to get back. Wantie does not email posters or guests about offers, messages, or post status.
Does Wantie invent listings or seller counts?
No. City and item pages only show live public Wants. An empty list means nobody has posted one yet — not a directory of every seller in town.
Which cities work on Wantie?
Madison and Philadelphia are the supply hubs with neighborhood pages. Sioux City, Champaign, Belleville (Michigan, Detroit metro — not Illinois), San Francisco, NYC, Dallas, and other real US place slugs also have pages. Unknown real city slugs still render and show real Wants when they exist.
