Grab A Bargain.com Challenges eBay's Silver Bullet Half.com
New Marketplace Averages Over 2 New Listings Per Second SinceLaunching Its Marketing Campaign!

Jul 17, 2001--ORLANDO, FL--INTERNET WIRE

GRAB A BARGAIN.COM (www.grababargain.com), with over two million items already in inventory, proudly announces the official launch of its person-to-person fixed-price marketplace for books, music and movies. Grab A Bargain.com is what many eBay and Half.com users have been asking for - a worthy competitor.

Grab A Bargain.com provides a great place for people to buy or sell previously owned books, music and movies. Unlike auctions, there is no bidding or competing to purchase items. All items are available for immediate delivery, and many are listed at less than 50% of their original price. It's a true Bargain Hunter's Paradise.

Built on a pay-for-performance model, Grab A Bargain.com enables sellers to list their items for FREE. There are no listing fees and sellers only pay a commission once their item sells. The system is designed to save time; sellers need only enter the items ISBN or UPC, the condition, and the selling price of the item -- Grab A Bargain.com's system will then complete the listing.

"It has been proven that in today's 'internet society' through the success of online auctions, people are willing to buy and sell almost anything online. Our goal is to provide a marketplace where consumers can buy or sell without the listing hassles or financial risks associated with online auctions," said Peter Antunes, President of Grab A Bargain.com. "By simplifying the listing process, guaranteeing the product and handling the financial transactions, we have completely eliminated the risks of buying or selling on the web."

Grab A Bargain.com provides both business and individual sellers of new and used books, music and movies with a quick and easy way to upload their inventories for sale. This enables sellers to increase their sales by establishing an immediate online presence under the Grab A Bargain.com umbrella, eliminating the hefty start up costs associated with getting online.

At this time, Grab A Bargain.com's services are only available to the United States and Canada. Management stated that they are planning to quickly expand their business model: first to Europe and shortly thereafter on a global basis. This will give them a competitive edge in the international market.

Their team is already hard at work gearing up for the upcoming holiday season. They will shortly introduce video games, and preparations are being made to expand their product line into larger ticket items such as computers and electronics.

With over 2 million items, Grab A Bargain.com is already a popular stop for bargain hunters looking for a deal online. They will be introducing an aggressive seven figure marketing campaign with many incentive based giveaways supported by radio, billboard, and banner advertising to promote their site and increase traffic.

"We are confident that the combination of our state-of-the-art website and incentive-based marketing program will challenge the competition and capture a substantial share of the market", said Kelly Weber, Vice-President of Marketing. "This will keep our listings growing and propel Grab A Bargain.com into a leadership position within the fixed-price market."
