FREMONT — Jeanne Chan often finds stuff in her closet she'd like to get rid of, but until now she hasn't been too happy with the options for doing so.

"I don't really like selling my items on eBay — I feel like the process takes too long," she said. "But at the same time, sometimes I'm too lazy to take myself to a thrift store."

Now she has an alternative. Poshmark, which launched this month, offers users like Chan the opportunity to buy and sell fashion items through a free iPhone app.

From wikipedia:
Cyrus Stephen Eaton (December 27, 1883 – May 9, 1979) was a Canadian-born investment
banker, businessman and philanthropist in the United States, with a career that spanned seventy years.
For decades one of the most powerful financiers in the American midwest, Cyrus Eaton was also a colorful and often-controversial figure. He was chiefly known for his longevity in business, for his opposition to the dominance of eastern financiers in the America of his day, for his occasionally ruthless financial manipulations, and for his outspoken criticism of America’s Cold War brinkmanship.

He funded and helped organize the first Pugwash Conferences on World Peace, in 1955.
