What people in Madison want — and what they'll pay
Want is a reverse marketplace: you post the item you need in Madison and the budget you will pay, then nearby sellers reply. Students and neighbors message 1:1 and close the deal off-platform. Posting a Want is free during launch.
Madison pickups are easier when you name the area — Langdon, State Street, Willy Street, Vilas, or campus. Winter stairs and a place to idle a car belong on the Want.
Move-in weekends and lease turnovers show up as couches, dressers, dining tables, and mattresses. A dorm-scale piece and an apartment sectional are different posts — say which.

Furniture in Madison
Looking for a couch in Madison
A dorm sofa and an apartment sectional are different carries. Name Langdon, Vilas, Willy Street, or campus, and whether it has to go up a stair.
Looking for a dresser in Madison
Solid wood is heavy on apartment and house stairs. Say drawer count and whether pickup is Langdon, Regent, Tenney-Lapham, or farther west.
Looking for a dining table in Madison
A two-top for a Langdon house is not a six-seat table for Vilas. Say seats and whether it must fold, plus the neighborhood.
Looking for a mattress in Madison
Say twin, extra-long twin, full, queen, or king — dorm beds are often XL twin. Mention campus vs. an apartment, and whether used is acceptable.
