Problem
Every semester students buy blazers, lab coats, and fest costumes worn twice, while juniors pay full price for the same items new — there's no trusted campus channel to pass them on.
Solution
A verified campus-only marketplace with QR-tagged listings, hostel pickup points, and a deposit-backed condition guarantee, run as a commerce-club enterprise with a small resale margin.
Why a campus thrift exchange
A blazer worn twice costs ₹2,400 new. Our pilot survey across two hostels found 340 wearable items sitting unused. CampusThreads moves them to juniors at a third of the price, with the commerce club taking a small margin that funds fest stalls.
