The marketplace for found things

Someone lost it. You can buy it.

Lost & Listed is where finders sell what other people left behind. Umbrellas off trains, a glove off a sidewalk, a wallet with the cash still in it. Every listing has a photo of the item where it was found, the date, and whether anyone is still looking for it. If it was yours, you can buy it back at a discount.

How it works

From the bench to your door

1

A finder finds it

On a platform, under a booth, behind a lobby sofa. They photograph it where it lies, before touching it.

2

It goes live in minutes

Finders are rated on speed. The average is fourteen minutes from pickup to listing. The record is forty seconds.

3

You buy it

Condition notes are honest, because honesty is the other thing finders are rated on. The wallet says how much cash is in it.

4

Or you buy it back

If it was yours, describe a detail not shown in the photo and take ten percent off. Finders must honor it.

Become a finder

You walk past inventory every day

A platform at rush hour, a diner after the lunch crowd, a hotel lobby at six in the morning. Finders photograph, list, and ship, and keep everything after our fee. Read the guidelines first. They are short, and the first one is about hands.
