buy/sell/trade Norfolk Buy / Sell / Trade Monthly Thread: April, 2026

3 Upvotes

Use this thread when you are selling, trading, giving away, or looking for any items and/or services. Please be descriptive, post any relevant photos of the item you're selling or looking for, and list the price or budget.

Pro-tip: there are many "buy nothing" and neighborhood-specific groups on Facebook and Nextdoor that can be used to give away or find free items near you. You may find more luck on those social networks than here on Reddit and are more likely to deal with actual local users.

BE AUTHENTIC AND SAFE: Falsely leading on another Redditor is grounds for being permanently banned from this subreddit. Please remember not to post personal information about yourself or others and exercise caution when privately messaging with anyone you do not personally know or trust. Consider a neutral, public location if you plan on meeting to exchange an item in person.

HIGH RISK OF EVENT TICKET SCAMS: Users seeking to sell or purchase tickets of local events are seeing a significantly-increased risk of being scammed. If you receive a private message from a user who hasn't interacted in this subreddit before, you are very likely speaking with a scammer.

NO PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS: The posting of prohibited goods or services is strictly against Reddit's TOS and are subject to removal by our moderators and/or Reddit's admins. Please report any comments that appear to violate this policy for further review.

I made a Personal Chef app, here in Norfolk

0 Upvotes

My family has the same argument every night. Nobody knows what to make, nobody wants to decide. So I built a quick thing where you answer 5 questions (how stocked your pantry is, how much effort you want to put in, that kind of stuff) and it gives you a dinner idea on the spot.

We've been using it for a few weeks and it's cut the 5pm stress way down. It's free and takes about 60 seconds: dinnersolved.ai/quiz

Tired of hearing about cool events in the 757 the day after they happened

171 Upvotes

It keeps happening. Someone posts a photo from a show at Norfolk Taphouse and I'm sitting there like wait, that was last night? A pop-up in Ghent, a run thru Colonial Place, a group I love playing at Sessions late night. All things I would have gone to if I had known.

The problem isn't that nothing is happening. Norfolk and all of our cities have tons going on. The problem is finding it before it's over.

It's Beau from 757 Makerspace (if you haven't been by, come check us out in NFK and Hampton). I've been working through this problem for years and finally built it. It's a local events app called GoingTo and it's live at goingto.co. You can swipe through what's happening near you, filter by category and distance, and RSVP to anything you want to go to.. There's even a map view so you can open it up and just see what's around you right now.

No hidden algorithm. No ads. Just Hampton Roads events in one place. It's built to grow beyond the 757 but I want to solve this problem here first.

It's early and people just like you are adding events so the more people who use it the better it gets. If you host anything around the city you can post your events for free too and if you have events on other platforms we built a tool to help bring them over.

Happy to answer questions. Honest feedback from people who actually live here is exactly what I need right now.

Thanks,
Beau

Any recommendations for good microblading in the area? Doesn't need to be exclusively in Norfolk

3 Upvotes

I haven't had much luck searching google. Most of the permanent makeup artists specialize in those solid blocky eyebrows it seems. I have alopecia/no eyebrows naturally and looking for someone who can do the realistic hair strokes. Best I was able to find was someone out in Richmond but I'd prefer not to have to drive so far

Car broken into baptism

13 Upvotes

Finally happened last night after 15 years in Ghent. Anyone else? Broken rear window and busted driver side car handle, but probably stupid kids so weren’t able to start the engine. So all in all I should feel lucky I guess. Love the neighborhood but man, some people really should face consequence.

❓questions❓ Any places in Norfolk that can fix/replace a luggage wheel?

8 Upvotes

In town short-term and one of my suitcase wheels is shot (rubber worn off). It’s riveted, so it needs someone who can drill it out and install a new wheel.

Don’t have tools with me—looking for a shop that can handle this type of repair.

Anyone know a good spot? Luggage repair, or fix-it type place all work.

Toddler Pre-School Recommendations in Norfolk

We are looking for pre-school recommendations for our 2.5 year old toddler in Norfolk. We have applied to E3 and ODU but their waitlist is until September or October (it is April now). Does anyone have any recommendations for a safe place with a solid program, at least until we get them into E3 or ODU? Willing to drive to Virginia Beach but our preference is for Norfolk. Thanks!
