I quietly launched Swappa, a marketplace for used Android devices, about a month ago. A buyer and seller connected for the very first sale this afternoon... a used Motorola Droid now has a new home thanks to Swappa.

(I really hope the first sale was the hardest.)

Thanks, HN. I've learned a lot here.

After reading about your successful Reddit ad campaign, I feel a little attached to the project--congrats on your first sale! I hope it's the first of many, many more to come.

Great site -- my G1 just sold on your site. The selling process was very easy. I am impressed. Hope the sells continue for you.
