## What is Future Reference?

The Future Reference app is the fastest way to list your designer pieces for resale. Snap photos, add a few details, and your item is live in minutes, in front of a community of people who love great design.

Future Reference is the resale community for curated designer fashion. Members post ISOs (in search of, the resale word for a wishlist) for the pieces they're hunting, build digital wardrobes, and buy and sell with people who share their taste. The app is where you sell.

HOW IT WORKS

SNAP YOUR PHOTOS
Take photos right in the app or choose from your camera roll.

ADD THE DETAILS
Pick the brand, size, and condition, and set your price. If you've already saved the item to your Future Reference wardrobe, the details are filled in for you.

GO LIVE
Your listing goes straight to the community. Members who have your piece on their ISO list get notified the moment it's listed, so the right buyer may already be waiting.

SHIP AND GET PAID
When it sells, we send you a prepaid shipping label. Once your buyer receives the item, your earnings appear in your balance, ready to withdraw to your bank.

WHY SELL ON FUTURE REFERENCE

Buyers who already want your piece, through ISO notifications
A curated community of brand fans, not an endless marketplace feed
Prepaid shipping labels on every sale
List in minutes from your phone
Manage all your listings in one place

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-12*

I set up an account. I have a login but when i try to use the app it doesn’t log me in. Also my item sold and a label was never sent to me to ship my item. There is no customer service. I have no idea why my item said sold for weeks but i cannot collect on it or ship it to buyer. Obviously there is a lot of work to do on this app and it first starts with customer service

### 2/5 — Can’t see any listings

*2025-10-23*

I have no idea how to buy anything in this app. It’s basically totally blank with no menu or anything. Good idea in theory but super confusing (borderline nonexistent) interface!

### 3/5 — Extremely buggy

*2025-08-25*

The service is great - no complaints there. It definitely makes reselling things easier, especially lower value pieces where it isn’t worth the extra effort to list tons of places. However, the app is extremely buggy. I currently can’t list items imported from my email (one of the advertised features) because whenever I hit Post Listing, nothing happens. I have to go on my computer, meaning I lose the photos I took. I’ve also encountered bugs elsewhere with disappearing buttons and crashing. I really hope the team fixes these issues because it makes it hard to recommend.

### 5/5 — Game changer!!

*2025-05-13*

Seriously, how did I just discover this app? 😩 I’ve successfully sold many items since I joined Future Reference and I can’t go back to listing on other marketplaces anymore.

### 5/5 — My Motivation to Resell

*2025-04-09*

I downloaded this app not knowing what to expect - surely my clothes were only worth donating to Goodwill (which I’d get around to, at some point, maybe this year, maybe next) - but was pleasantly surprised to see a good amount of value for items in my closet I haven’t thought about for a long time. Love the immediate insights I got from just linking my email - fascinating to know which brands are in demand, which of my stuff has appreciated or depreciated. This is my spring cleaning’s secret weapon!

### 5/5 — Best Resale App Ever!

*2025-04-08*

This app is a dream. I used to struggle to price items and cross-list between platforms. Future Reference handles it all and I’ve seen real results—sold more here in a month than on Poshmark all last year. Can’t believe how smooth it is!

### 5/5 — Huge boost to listings

*2025-04-08*

FR cross-listed the items that I had on Poshmark and my sales blew past what I expected. Super easy to use -- they handle everything!

### 5/5 — Seriously so easy

*2025-04-08*

I have been selling on Poshmark for years and then I tried Vestiaire and couldn’t believe the listing process was even more intensive. Future Reference’s email sync and then listing process makes it so easy. I really like that you can list from the wardrobe since they have the original photos saved and then add your listing photos later- game changer.

### 5/5 — I love this app so much! As someone who has been reselling for years, I’ve had so much more success

*2025-04-08*

I love this app so much! As someone who has been reselling for years, I’ve had so much more success selling on FR than other platforms. Their auto-import from Gmail feature is amazing and has saved me so much time when I want to list a new item. I also imported some listings from Poshmark which again saved me time. Reselling is such a pain but Future Ref is making it way less of a headache, and I’ve sold way more on FR than I have on all the other platforms I resell on. A bonus is that it’s also a digital closet, and it’s fun to see some of the stats they show you about your current closet.
