First Dibs
The smarter way to hold items. No deposits, no scams—just reputation-based commitment that protects both buyers and sellers.
How It Works
A simple, four-step process that replaces risky cash deposits with reputation-based accountability.
Give Dibs
Seller assigns First, Second, or Third Dibs to interested buyers
Set Pickup
Confirm date, time, and meeting location—no cash deposit needed
Show Up
Buyer arrives as promised—their reputation is on the line
Rate & Move On
If no-show, seller rates the buyer and offers to next in queue
Skip the Deposit, Keep Your Money Safe
No Cash Deposits
Never send money to hold an item. Your reputation speaks for you.
Reserved Time Slot
Get a confirmed pickup window so you're not racing other buyers.
Build Trust
Every successful pickup strengthens your buyer reputation.
No More Chasing Flaky Buyers
Queue Management
Line up multiple buyers—if First Dibs flakes, Second is ready.
Accountability Built In
Buyers who no-show get rated. Their reputation follows them.
Clear Communication
Calendar integration keeps everyone on the same page.
Auto-Cascade
When First Dibs doesn't show, FrostBoard Pro automatically notifies Second Dibs and moves them to the front of the queue. No manual work required—your backup buyer is ready to go.
Upgrade to ProWhy We Don't Support Cash Deposits
Cash deposits sent via Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or other payment apps are non-refundable and impossible to recover if something goes wrong. Scammers exploit this by asking for "holding fees" and then disappearing. First Dibs eliminates this risk entirely by using reputation instead of money.
