This startup uses a clever system to help you save money on clothes, tech, and more — here's how it works

The Insider Picks team writes about stuff we think you'll like. Business Insider has affiliate partnerships, so we get a share of the revenue from your purchase.

No matter what type of personality you have, there are definitely items you're interested in and want.

Unfortunately, buying the things you like can sometimes be very expensive, especially if you're an enthusiast or collector. When you like something, naturally you want to buy more, and that can add up quickly.

Instead of shelling out full retail for what you love or simply need, Massdrop is the answer to shopping and consistently saving money at the same time.

Founded in 2012, the startup is introducing a completely new dynamic to shopping online. It's not a retailer, its not a manufacturer — Massdrop acts as a middleman between consumers and brands by offering products at consistently low prices through group buys. 

Group buys are great because companies are much more willing to pass along savings to consumers when a certain amount of people are committed to buying its products at once.

Whether you're in need of a new set of headphones or want to add a new watch to your collection, Massdrop is a great way do it. 

Regardless of your interests, Massdrop has a community of like-minded people and a bunch of related products that you can save on. Clothes, accessories, cooking, tech, audio, watches, and beauty are just a few of the many categories the site has to offer.

Sign up for Massdrop to today and save on all the products you love.
