How It Works
A simple weekly buying cycle designed for local discovery
DropYard runs on a weekly rhythm. Sellers list items throughout the week, buyers preview and save before claiming opens, then the marketplace comes alive during the Saturday Drop — where unsold Shelf items automatically roll into the live buying rush.
