| While yardselling it came to me
It seems like everyone knows what you mean when you mention the
term yardselling. Well, Webster doesn't agree. In fact many
dictionaries leave out the term altogether. These days the term
has evolved. It used to be that yardselling was a few moments or
a day of driving around your town looking at other peoples
stuff. Today we still look through peoples stuff, we just do it
online. Isnt that all Ebay and other online auction site are?
Personally I really enjoy sifting through the worlds of junk
people are selling. During my time spent at Ebay I realized that
the common, everyday joe was being left out. While selling is
easy online, it does come at a price. I found it impractical to
sell my junk on Ebay after figuring in all of auction fees.
Opening price, closing price, reserve fees, valuation fees, fees
for bold letters, fee for images! I think they tried to charge
me for tying my shoe at one point. After all the fees and
shipping I was $28 in the hole after selling my room full of
junk. What I discovered was people are all about the money. If
it is cheap, they will buy it. As I progressed with my online
yard sale I became fairly auction savvy. I believed that if
people could sell items for free, people would sale a lot more
items. Turns out I was right. After a few months of planing and
mild financial assistants I launched my very own auction site.
Here I can let people sale for free, opening up the market to
every homeowner who needs to turn some junk into cash. What else
would I call this site but, www.yardselling.com Exactly! The
results of my little idea have been amazing. New members sign up
hourly and I get millions of visits per month. I take great
pride it knowing that all these people are getting a little bit
of secret fun time rummaging through other peoples stuff. The
windfall of money from the site is just a bonus, really.
