About SteamboatStuff.com

As residents of Routt County we believe we have at least 3 things in common with our fellow locals:

• We love Steamboat Springs
• We have a garage full of STUFF
• We could stand to have some extra cash in our pocket

Building from these three commonalities as our foundation, Steamboat Stuff was born. When we first started thinking about a new, local classified ads website we decided it needed to be more than just a place to buy and sell things. If we were going to do this right it had to have a larger purpose than just ads.

If you look at great companies like Tom’s Shoes, Sevenly and Charity Water you’ll notice that each of these brands started by fundamentally approaching business in a different way. These innovators resonated with us. Specifically, the idea that a business could stand for something more than just their financial reports just feels like a better way to build a new business.

We began with the idea that this website could serve as both a valuable community resource for users to raise some money for themselves while also benefitting area non-profit organizations. The driving idea behind this venture is that:

The value of the transaction doesn’t end with the sale. The dollars generated here will go on to improve our community for years to come.

So as you explore the site we urge you to think about your own life and the ways you give. Perhaps you too could find one or two items around your house that it might be time to sell.

And when you decide to advertise these things to prospective buyers we hope you consider the impact you can have on local charities by choosing SteamboatStuff.com as your selling partner.
