SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 4, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- It's the ultimate electronic swap meet. A new web site for people who want to trade items or services with others in their own back yard or around the world. TradeWithMe247.com will take horse trading to new heights.
Here's how it works. You have an item or services; maybe it's a white elephant or perhaps something with more than just memorabilia value. It could be anything from a real car to a model car, from a paper clip to a copying machine. Or, perhaps you can provide photography or plumbing services, auto repair or yard work in exchange for an item or other services.
You pay just 99 cents to TradeWithMe247.com and then post your item, complete with a full description and a photo, for up to 60 days.
Your contact information is there as well. Once the posting is up on the site, you sit back and wait for the offers. Then the fun begins. You pick the offers that interest you and begin a negotiation with the person who wants to swap. It can be a hobby, or a lot more than that. And all for only 99 cents per posted item.
The site promises to be one of the most interesting on the Internet. Imagine the items and services that will go up for barter. Just browsing will be entertaining and, maybe, very profitable. Lots of amateurs will be posting, but so will many pros.
"We are seriously shooting for over a million things or services being posted by the end of the year," said Portia Lorraine of TradeWithMe247.com. "We want people to have fun with this concept, but we are also tailoring it for those who are seriously into barter and want to make money," she added.
Plans for TradeWithMe247.com call for the site to be indexed so searches using key words can pull up listings for swapping. The posting can also be regionalized so that searches for items can be confined to certain areas of the country. Designers of the site are making it easy to do the actual postings and the small fee of 99 cents can be paid via credit card and Pay Pal. Postings will be pass-worded.
