FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 17, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Total Identity Corp ("TIC") (Pink Sheets:TIDC) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Yard Sale Drop-Off(tm) ("YSDO"), a trading assistant and Power Seller with eBay (Nasdaq:EBAY), has begun accepting applications to license its online auction business solution. YSDO has received numerous inquiries over the past couple of months from people interested in joining the YSDO team.
YSDO has decided to take a different approach to eBay drop off business than Orbit Drop, Inc. ("OBDP"), Net2Auction, Inc. ("NAUC") and AuctionCities.com, Inc. ("AUCC"), which have joined countless other companies offering franchises. YSDO is going to license its business solution to users who will then be able to operate and mange an eBay auction for a fraction of the cost. The complete YSDO package is $1,995 for the first year with no long term commitments. Furthermore, YSDO does not share in the revenue with the licensee; whatever they make is theirs to keep.
YSDO Licensees can be full or part-time and licensees will be free to run their business from their home, existing store or from a retail location if they choose to open one. YSDO will provide each licensee with access to its proprietary software and support that will enable them to effectively manage their auction business along with many other tools to build their business. These tools include artwork for business cards, brochures, banners and labels; their own YSDO website; inclusion in the YSDO main website as a location; sources for inventory; shirts with the YSDO logo; marketing guides; tutorials; and email updates to assist each licensee with increasing their business.
This is a complete business in a box concept where a licensee can be in business virtually immediately after being processed by YSDO. There are no credit checks, build-out delays or substantial start up costs, and unlike eBay, where it's almost impossible to speak with someone if you have any questions, licensees will have a direct help line they can call for assistance. Furthermore, if someone was looking to go into a franchise business in a certain location but was unable because that territory was already taken, now is their chance. YSDO licensees will be limited by zip code and population.
YSDO will be contacting those individuals who expressed an interest in the YSDO Business Opportunity during the next two weeks to select the most qualified applicants to join the YSDO Team.
YSDO motto: "We turn your hidden treasures into cash!"
