Flyp wants to give power resellers enterprise-grade e-commerce tooling

The startup’s core, revenue-generating product is an algorithmic matching platform that pairs a regular consumer, or a liquidation company, or a donation center, with a power reseller to offload their inventory of used goods.

The company works with channels like ThredUp, TheRealReal and eBay.  I’m a little worried about this model, primarily because the quality of inventory has to be in question if it’s going to some kind of matching marketplace.  High-quality inventory doesn’t need this kind of service because it’s worth the effort for whoever has it to sell it themselves.
