thePULSEBy Katey Khaos
It’s the end of the semester, and it’s time to sell your textbooks back. Maybe it’s your senior year, and it’s time to move back home and you’re looking to sell some furniture from your college apartment. Auctionopia.com is the perfect place to do that…and much more!
Auctionopia takes the technology that you use every day to create a one-of-a-kind buying and selling experience. Instead of waiting a week or two for an auction to end and checking back repeatedly to make sure you’re the highest bidder, how about instant messaging the seller, haggling the price, and sealing the deal in five minutes?
Auctionopia also allows users to auction off items for free, so there’s a chance that you could get that microwave you’ve been needing in the apartment for absolutely nothing! It’s also a great opportunity to get rid of some items you no longer need, but know no one would really pay for ~ like that sweater with Santa printed all over it that you bought for the ugly sweater party last year.
Registration for Auctionopia is 100% free. Once registered, all you need to begin buying and selling is a PayPal account (www.paypal.com).
