Opening first in Zurich
With physical exchange spaces — a network of partner shops where every item can be dropped off, sold, or picked up. Nothing dropped, nothing lost.
We believe good things are worth a second owner — not a landfill, and not another ad.
Three departments, one marketplace
No hierarchy between them — list it yourself, hand it to a shop, or have it collected. Same pool of buyers, whichever path fits.
Photos, a price, a short description. Live in minutes, searchable everywhere Curb operates.
Bring it to a partner shop. Five ways to hand it over, from a window display to a no-contact drop.

Drop-off, in detail
Not a single counter — a shop can take something in five different ways, depending on what you're bringing and how much distance you want from the sale.
Available around the clock
A rented compartment at the shop, open day and night — no need to time your visit to opening hours. The buyer and seller never have to meet.
Half an hour, reserved
Book a table and a slot. Meet the buyer face to face, over a coffee, to sell two or three items in one sitting — then it's someone else's turn.
Rent a section of the shop window. Your items are displayed, not shelved — seen from the street before they're seen online.
Sell it straight to the shop, on the spot — like a pawn counter. They set the price, you get the cash immediately.
Leave it at the counter for a euro or two. Someone else comes to collect it later — you never cross paths, no evaluation, no small talk.
From your place to cash
Photos and a short description, validated before any drop-off or pickup.
Sell it yourself, hand it to a partner shop, or book a collection.
Cash on drop-off or pickup, or a transfer once it sells online.
A curb is a physical edge — and, as a verb, a restraint. Both meanings sit inside the same word: a marketplace that gives an unstructured, informal trade a real boundary.
The name has a direct precedent. In 19th-century New York, trading that couldn't get a seat on the stock exchange floor happened on the curb outside — literally, brokers on the sidewalk. That informal market eventually got walls, rules, and a new name: the American Stock Exchange. Same shift Curb is betting on for secondhand trade.
Partner shops list and sell what's already coming through the door, and earn a share of every sale — online or in person. Curb runs the listing software; you run the counter.
