CellBazaar

CellBazaar connects buyers and sellers in an electronic marketplace over their cell phones. It addresses one of the most significant challenges to everyday life in developing economies–buying and selling basic goods with limited access to computers, internet, or viable substitutes. With CellBazaar, the seller and buyer can use their personal or community cell phones to check market prices, buy or sell their products, and see information that can be leveraged to attain favorable prices or make an informed decision about traveling to the market. CellBazaar's value proposition lies in its ability to facilitate transactions and thereby overcome market failures.
