Rumgr is a smartphone app that surfaces goods being sold nearby and attaches a public chat to each item for questions, with private chats for completing transactions. Listings are intentionally simple—users can post with just a photo—and the app emphasizes serendipitous discovery over category search. Rumgr is iPhone-only and is launching an update that adds a dedicated offers screen, a map of nearby sales, and tabs to track items users want to buy and sell. The founders—Dylan Bathurst, Ray Morgan, and Alex Coleman—are former Zappos employees and the company is based in Las Vegas. The team says it aims to reinvent the garage-sale discovery model rather than replicate Craigslist and acknowledges the challenge of achieving local density while relying on a core of engaged users.
