BondedSale VS. Ebay! David VS. Goliath?

BondedSale.com, New competition to the Ebay Goliath, all fresh Vintage Merchandise and a Safe Alternative to current Internet Auctions! All Bonded Sellers, and all auction sales guaranteed to $10,000.00!

(PRWEB) April 27, 2004 -- Internet merchants such as Bothell Jewelers and Collectibles at TIAS, GoAntiques, Trocadero, and others have for a long time been frustrated by Ebay's questionable marketing activities. Due to Ebay promotions which pay people for sending traffic to Ebay, search engines like Google have been working overtime to filter out fraudulent sites that exist for no other reason than to forward traffic to Ebay. These unscrupulous people collect images and key words from legitimate Internet Stores, combine them on new sites which are weighted with the key words people use to search for goods on the web, and are paid by Ebay to direct traffic to the Ebay site. If you have ever been frustrated in trying to find a specific item and have been lead to an Ebay site that does not even have your search subject, then you have been affected by this Ebay marketing ploy.

Because of this practice, fixed price Internet storefronts were affected by huge drop-offs in business until Google was able to put together some controls on this activity, and as a consequence many online merchants became so frustrated with Ebay that they started looking for an alternative.

Through the combination of efforts of Epier auctions, TIAS fixed price Internet sales, the Hartford Insurance group, Buysafe, and many small Internet dealers; for the first time in the history of Internet Auctions a possible real alternative to the Ebay Giant has come about. Now consumers can bid in an auction with a degree of confidence that they will actually receive what they order, that it will be as described and that they will not be cheated in the process. The BondedSale auctions are all guaranteed up to $10,000.00, and all participating dealers have been bonded up to that amount!

The Bonded Sale starts Tuesday April 27th and goes to Sunday, May 2nd, six days only! All merchandise is completely new to the Internet, and all dealers have agreed to only list fresh merchandise never before seen in any fixed price or auction venue!

This is a first for any Internet auction, and if successful could create some competition for the Ebay giant! Is this the David that will slay Goliath? Maybe not, but slinging a few rocks at Ebay may help to stir up the Internet auction scene and provide some fresh alternatives!
