REPEAT-If Your Johnson Enlarger is Collecting Dust, We Know Where to Sell it!

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 20, 2012) - Spring is in the air, and with the turning of seasons comes the move to new homes and new beginnings for consumers living in the hot Toronto housing market. This is the time to decide what you really want to take with you and what you want to get rid of, but before you deep-six your old dishes, chuck unused China, forsake outdated furniture or abandon appliances, you might want to consider putting your things up for auction instead.

Canadian sellers with sizable storage shortages can find relief with online auction site YouBidLocal. The company takes all of the effort and inconvenience out of trying to sell surplus belongings one by one. YouBidLocal will set up the auction, photograph all of the items, and provide written descriptions of everything being sold. They will then market the living daylights out of those items through online, traditional and social media. Shoppers bid on the items online throughout a set time frame, and winning bidders collect their purchases at a designated time, without the seller lifting a finger.

"Whether you're downsizing, holding an estate sale or clearing out a large amount of items, our online auction is designed to maximize views and bids on all of your items with an easy and stress-free online sale for sellers," said Sushee Perumal, CEO of YouBidLocal. "We've learned that interest in items for sale can be extremely subjective, like interest in the Johnson Enlarger*."

Examples of some of the most unusual items sold on YouBidLocal include a set of Russian leader nesting dolls for children, a 14-inch gorilla in motion statue, a pair of two-inch high brass sumo wrestler statues, a pirate statue, a huge box of nails and a cobalt blue collectible cat and dish. A gallery of the unusual items can be seen here: http://gallery.me.com/pointmanpr#100016.

YouBidLocal has also sold a number of big ticket items, including original paintings, sterling silver, antiques, a tractor and a number of cars. A gallery of higher priced items can be seen here: http://gallery.me.com/pointmanpr#100027.
