Nishinomiya City has also started working with Mercariー♪
It’s a citywide circular Mercari system that makes you think, “Oh wow, that Christmas tree I threw away is doing its best out thereー”.
They’re also working with “Oikura,” a site where you can compare buyback prices for unwanted items in one appraisal and sell them.
Nishinomiya City really feels like it’s teaming up with a lot of online services, doesn’t it?✨
So,
The correct answer is c. Jimotyーーーーーーー.
It’s kind of like a local bulletin board, where you can sell things to people nearby. There’s no registration fee or usage fee, so it’s super easy.
Normally, services like Mercari are aimed at people all over Japan, so when something sells, you have to ship it, which means shipping costs, right? With Jimoty, nearby people usually buy your items, so they often come pick them up. It’s especially handy when you’re selling big furniture and other items where shipping tends to get expensiveー✨
As for the specific agreement, it’s basically about promoting Jimoty through city newsletters, the city hall website, LINE, Twitter, and so onー♪Nishi2 might also be able to explain how to use it in an easy-to-understand way! If that’s needed. Please press the “Heh” button lots of times.
