GauchoShare is an Android app that is intended to help UCSB students buy/sell resources to each other.
UCSB students are cheap and do not want to have to buy extra, overpriced materials like Scantrons, textbooks, lab manuals, iClickers, etc. There are also those who already have these materials, but wish to sell them to other UCSB students at a lower price in order to get some money back for their purchases. Hence, GauchoShare hopes to connect the group of people who are selling their resources at a lower price with the group of people who are looking to buy these kinds of resources at a lower price point.

- Image upload does not work if user immediately saves their profile/listing information
