The Newest Way To Get A Holiday Bonus Check: Sell Last Year's Gifts With Isold It

(Tuesday, December 06, 2005) - Do you expect to receive the newest of the new iPods for the holidays this year? What about the new XBOX 360? The latest Trek Fuel EX mountain bike, perhaps? If so, you probably have an older version of that item that you might consider "so last season." Now with iSold It, the nation's leading eBay drop-off store chain, you can drop off that old item and receive a "bonus check" in the mail a short time later -- an extra gift to pad your pocketbook after the holiday season. ADVERTISEMENT This year, iSold It expects to help a record number of individuals sell their unwanted valuables on eBay in the days immediately following the holidays. "With all the holiday gifts that are trade-ups from earlier models, there will be a lot of great merchandise that households will no longer need," says iSold It CEO and President Ken Sully. "Our service is perfect for customers who want to cash in on eBay but don't have the time or skills to undertake the project." The National Retail Federation projects $439 billion in holiday sales this year, an increase of 6 percent from 2004. The most popular items include electronics, sports equipment and designer clothing. Many of these gifts will replace earlier models already in the household, freeing up the older items for resale.

About iSold It The concept for iSold It was created by Elise Wetzel as she was helping to fundraise for a new playground at her children's school. Elise recognized that auctioning donated items on eBay could be a powerful fundraising tool, especially if there were a service that helped make it easy. From this small idea for a school benefit came the foundation for iSold It -- providing an easy way for any person, business or organization to sell things online. Today, iSold It is considered the leading concept in the emerging drop-off store category. For more information, visit www.i-soldit.com. iSold It, LLC is a privately held company.
