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."
