Why buy it
when the neighbors
already own one?
StuffBuff is the marketplace for borrowing and lending the things that sit in a garage most of the year — power tools, camping gear, party supplies, and more — with people who live a few doors down.

Borrowing from a neighbor takes three steps.
No trucks, no store hours, no buying a $200 tool for a ten-minute job.
Browse what's nearby
Search tools, games, sports gear, outdoor equipment, party supplies, and electronics listed by people in your own neighborhood.
Request your dates
Pick your rental window, send a request, and message the owner directly. Pay securely in the app once they approve.
Pick up, use, return
Meet nearby, get what you need done, and hand it back. Rate the experience so the next neighbor knows what to expect.
If it's collecting dust, someone nearby needs it.
Tools
Power tools, hand tools, and equipment for the project you're only doing once.
Games
Board games, video games, card games, and puzzles for game night.
Sports equipment
Fitness gear, team sports equipment, and recreational essentials.
Outdoor gear
Camping, hiking, fishing, and everything for a weekend away.
Party supplies
Tables, chairs, tents, and decorations for hosting without the storage bill.
Electronics
Cameras, audio gear, projectors, and gadgets for the occasion that calls for them.
The stuff in your garage can pay rent too.
List what you already own, set your own price and availability, and get paid securely every time a neighbor borrows it.
- List in minutes. Snap a few photos, set a daily price, and publish — no storefront required.
- You approve every request. Nothing goes out the door without your say-so.
- Get paid automatically. Payments are handled securely through Stripe — no chasing cash.
Bring StuffBuff to your street — and earn a share of it.
Captains claim a neighborhood, invite their neighbors, and grow a lending community from scratch. As the neighborhood you built keeps renting, you earn a share of the platform fee — on top of renting fee-free once you hit your first milestone.
Become a CaptainBuilt so borrowing from a stranger doesn't feel like it.
Every part of the rental is designed to make handing your things to a neighbor feel as safe as lending them to a friend.
Identity verification
Neighbors verify their name and address before listing or borrowing, so you know who's on the other end.
Secure payments
Every transaction runs through Stripe. StuffBuff never sees or stores your card details.
Everything in writing
Requests, approvals, and messages all stay inside the app, so there's a clear record of what was agreed.
Community ratings
Every completed rental builds a track record, so trust in your neighborhood compounds over time.
Stop buying things you'll use twice.
Your neighborhood is probably already sitting on the thing you need. Go find out.
