Looking locally in Portland? Post the Want, set the budget
Wantie is a reverse marketplace: you post the item you need in Portland and the budget you will pay, then nearby sellers reply in Messages. You close the deal off-platform. This page only lists live public Wants when someone has posted one.
Name Portland and a neighborhood or cross street so a seller can judge the trip. Replies arrive in Messages — Wantie does not email you about offers.
Couches, dressers, TVs, desks, and the rest show up when someone actually posts them in Portland. An empty list means nobody has yet — not a fake count.

Other cities
Madison
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.
Philadelphia
Philadelphia furniture often has to survive a rowhome stairwell. Name the neighborhood — Fishtown, West Philly, South Philly, Northern Liberties — and whether you can pick up the same day.
New York City
Most NYC wants are apartment-scale. Mention the borough, the floor, and whether there is an elevator. A Brooklyn walk-up and a Manhattan elevator are different jobs for a seller.
Chicago
Chicago moves stack around lease dates. Note the neighborhood — Logan Square, Pilsen, Lakeview, Hyde Park — and whether winter pickup is realistic.
Austin
Austin has a lot of new arrivals furnishing a first place. East Austin, South Congress, North Loop, and the UT area are useful pickup notes. Be specific about stairs and parking.
Denver
Denver pickups span Highlands, RiNo, Capitol Hill, and Baker as often as the suburbs. Say if you can help carry, and whether the item has to fit a one-bedroom.
Houston
Houston is spread out. Heights, Montrose, Midtown, and EaDo pickups are different trips. Put the neighborhood and a budget you can actually pay on the Want.
Dallas
Dallas–Fort Worth wants work best with a neighborhood on them — Oak Lawn, Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, Uptown — plus a budget. Sellers decide whether the drive is worth it.
Sioux City
Sioux City, Iowa sits on the Missouri River — not Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Name a neighborhood (Morningside, Leeds, Downtown) so a seller can judge the trip.
Champaign
Champaign-Urbana pickups split between campus, Downtown Champaign, and Urbana. Say which side of campus and whether a car can pause.
Belleville, Michigan
Label the Want Belleville, MI so it is not mixed up with Belleville, Illinois. Downtown, Van Buren Township, and Rawsonville are useful pickup notes.
San Francisco
San Francisco pickups are building-specific. Name the neighborhood — Mission, Sunset, Richmond, SoMa — plus floor, stairs, and a place to idle a car.
