To preface, I think is a great idea; it is definitely a much easier way to sell a used item, however, there is no one this app is targeted towards.
What I mean is, this is not an app someone will likely keep on their phone for very long, nor is it something I'm going to download just to have there in case. A lot of people buy and sell used goods, but not a lot of people regularly buy and sell used goods.
An interesting use case for this (and perhaps more insight into what kind of demographic it should target), might be for a real estate agent who is regularly selling homes, taking photos, and uploading them.
The audience then has a centralized location to look through homes and are likely to keep the app for much longer as they look for a home.
