Me and Friends at CatalystThese are MY top 6 reasons why I love eBay. I could be wrong, but on these I doubt it cause they only apply to ME.

  • The #1 reason why I “still” love eBay is; I “still” don’t fall in “love” with inanimate objects – That simply had to be #1 cause too many of us do, did, done or continue to do.
  • The #2 reason why I “still” love eBay is; eBay is “still” cheap and in many cases cheaper.
  • The #3 reason why I “still” love eBay is; It is a good place to test response on easily. Back in the old days of news ads, people would try it but the results were skewed at best.
  • The #4 reason why I “still” love eBay is; You can “still” start a business right from your kitchen table, like “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher<–<– Inserted for keyword tagging in search (LMAO) Seriously I did it and you can too.
  • The #5 reason why I “still” love eBay is;What you can learn is PRICELESS and can be applied anywhere you go.
  • The #6 reason why I “still” love eBay is; I could only think of 5 for this story, but I though #6 reasons sounded better as a title.

  • Top 10 and a Half Reasons to Bonanzle

    * 10. See one item, see 'em all. Your items are no longer rubber duckies lost in an ocean of items. On Bonanzle, if a buyer sees one of your items, they'll see up to 8 others prominently featured. Sellers sell faster, buyers find what they want more quickly.
    * 9. Offers on your terms. Name your price on a custom-made group of items from a seller. Whee! and deal.
    * 8. Cheap, cheap, cheap! The presentation might be slick here, but that doesn't mean you're getting fleeced. Bonanzle keeps overhead low by using open source technology and Google-like strategies and we pass our savings on to you. What will you pay to Bonanzle? How about nothing unless you're a power seller?
    * 7. Importers. eBay and Craigslist item importers mean you can start Bonanzling in seconds.
    * 6. Price guesser. Why spend five minutes logging onto eBay and item searching to figure out how to price your item, when you can have us tell you in five seconds?
    * 5. Picture cropper. Why didn't anybody think of this before? Take few pictures, post many items.
    * 4. Go from "want it" to "possess it" in minutes. Sellers can pre-specify when items can be picked up from them, so you can search for items that can be picked up soon, today, or now.
    * 3. The miraculous one page, one minute item post. Who knew that posting an item for sale could be done with five simple fields and no page loads?
    * 2. Chat while shopping. Buying and selling is the destination, but we bet you'll have more fun on the journey than at the destination. Where else can you meet people who live nearby you with similar interests, and still buy and sell items faster than eBay?
    * 1. Bonanza! The site is called "Bonanzle" for a reason! A Bonanza is a live garage sale that proves the universal truth that your stuff + lots of people = $ $ $ !
    * 1/2. Simple is beautiful.

    If you're missing the grass roots feel of the "old" eBay Bonanzle is the up and coming alternative... check it out you won't be sorry... http://www.bonanzle.com/users/new
