$#!T4less.com Releases Research on the Future of Online Auction Sites

East Lansing, MI, August 04, 2007 --(PR.com)-- $#!T4less.com, an online Web site for the sale of used, second hand, and hand crafted consumer items released today ground breaking industry research showing a lucrative future ahead for online auction and classified advertising Web sites. The research, conducted by an independent public relations firm, indicates that 10% of consumers’ overall spending online in 2006 was done on online auction sites, up 12% over 2005 spending.

“More than 25 million Americans have sold used and second hand items online,” said Arjay Bulock, General Manager for $#!T4less.com. “More than 32 million have used online classified ads for selling or buying. But we think the best statistic is that 35 million Americans with online access have never participated in an online auction or classified Web site. That’s a lot of potential customers for Web sites operating in our industry,” said Bulock. “The future looks rosy indeed.”

$#!T4less.com is a marketplace Web site that enables users to buy, sell, or trade secondhand, hand crafted, unusual and collectible items online. In contrast to prevalent auction sites, $#!T4less.com is designed for users who want to quickly sell hand crafted, used and secondhand items without the necessity of an adrenaline-rushed online auction. Users maintain real-time control over their listings and can post a wide variety of items for sale such as antiques, appliances, art, clothing, computers, electronics, furniture, games and toys, household items, literature, music, photography, tools, RVs, sporting goods, vehicles, and even heavy equipment.
