Brand New Auction site Yard Sale Surfer

[toyfads]

Now, I know we are all very busy with the places we already list on but I came across this nice new auction site Yard Sale Surfer.  They have put a new unique twist on auctions.  Its called the "wipe out" auction.  Its fun, easy to use and the CEO is a very nice genuine person.  They just opened up last Sunday.  They could really use some sellers brave enough to give it a try.  Its free to list until around December.  If you have some spare time and a few items you could list to help get some of their categories filled that would be great.  They are very open to suggestions and need help making the site grow.  I have had some hits already and the items I have up.  www.yardsalesurfer.com

I read about it on PSU. Here is the thread, http://powersellersunite.com/viewtopic.php?t=12816 .  I know its hard to keep up on all these sites, but I think they have a nice original idea for auctions.  The owner seems very nice,down to earth, and willing to listen and implement sellers idea's.  I hope they do well.  I like my store but I would like to have a decent site for auctions, even if it takes awhile to get it hoppin'.

Hello everyone!
Hello Christine! I have finally made it over here. Thanks so much for putting a good word in for us and for recommending this site. I absolutely love the tagline 'In a hundred years this won't matter...' what a great way to set the tone for a forum.
I am forewarning you all that following is a long-winded introduction to our site :rolli: We know the market is super-saturated with 'new' online auction sites out there but we really think we have made some important changes which we have outlined in the intro. So please take a look at the intro and our site. We welcome all comments and feedback!
Thanks in advance,
Melissa Griffore
CEO, Yardsale SurferTm

Yardsale Surfer would like to invite you to our Grand Opening! Yardsale SurferTM has just launched and can be found at http://www.yardsalesurfer.com . We at Yardsale SurferTM are aware that ‘new’ auction sites are a ‘dime a dozen’ so how are we different?

Yardsale SurferTM is designed especially for collectors and special interest groups. The features offered on our site are designed specifically to cater to individual sellers and small businesses. In researching the industry it was obvious to us that auction sites have no problem attracting sellers. In fact when browsing through other auction sites, what was most striking was the pages and pages of listings, with ‘0’ bids! Obviously there is something wrong with the business model if there are no buyers!

Although the conventional auctioning system is useful and suited to a variety of situations, it has its flaws especially when used online. We believe that buyers are ‘bored’ with the predictability and downfalls of the conventional auction system. Therefore we designed a new auction format called the WipeOut AuctionTM.  Our unique WipeOut AuctionTM is designed to be more user-friendly than the traditional auction format. The WipeOut AuctionTM prevents feverish last minute bidding and/or the motivation for sellers to increase the price of their items by submitting bids on their own auctions. Also, the WipeOut AuctionTM has eliminated the necessity to wait days for an auction to end. Buyers have the choice to purchase any item immediately or to wait for a potential bargain. There is still an element of excitement however, because the item you are interested in could be snapped up at any time! For a more thorough explanation of the WipeOut AuctionTM   please see our demos http://www.yardsalesurfer.com.

Yardsale Surfer will be completely FREE to use until November 30th 2007. After November, 2007 there will be a nominal sales fee charged to the seller for using our services. For more information please see our fee schedule. Otherwise there will be no listing fees and no fees for enhanced features or ‘no sale’ items.

Please feel free to join our unique new community for ‘People Who Know There Stuff’. Happy Surfing!

The Yardsale SurferTM Management Team.
