Varagesale

VarageSale is a community-based online marketplace for buying and selling used items locally, founded in 2012 by Montreal teacher Tami Zuckerman and programmer Carl Mercier and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. Members join a local community, verify their identity, and buy and sell with verified neighbors through native iOS and Android apps and the web, with communities across North America and beyond. Backed by Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners, VarageSale was acquired by VerticalScope in 2017, with online auction company MaxSold assuming operational control in early 2026. It is a direct-to-consumer marketplace and does not publish a public developer API, so this record captures its identity, web properties, and domain-security posture.

Varagesale is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Marketplace, Classifieds, and Local Commerce.

Varagesale’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 6 more developer resources.
