In contrast to the giants of online trading such as eBay and Amazon, whose members incur a diversity of fees with each transaction, Caretotrade.com and other new entrants to the online trading business are offering their members the ability to buy, sell and swap items absolutely free of charge with other traders from anywhere in the world.
Caretotrade.com was started a year ago by a South Florida native Brian Karpf, who was a law student at the time. After four years of college and another three of law school, Brian Karpf figures he spent a small fortune in textbooks. Knowing there had to be hundreds of college students who felt the same way the Weston man launched an idea last summer to solve the problem.
He created a blog where students could trade textbooks and save hundreds of dollars in the process. In a few short months, the book exchange blog underwent three major upgrades and transformed into the full-fledging online trading community that it is today. Thousands of members logon on a daily basis and thousands of items from autographed guitars to black Chinese shar pei puppies can be found on the website.
Books and electronics remain the most popular categories,' says Brian, although other categories are growing very quickly. Over the last few months I have seen huge increase in traffic and activities in my real estate categories!'
People trade everything from the ordinary electronics, antiques, collectibles to the bizarre. Among the more unusual items that have passed through the site: a UFO/missile tracking device, goat milk and soap, exotic farm animals, hybrid cars, Alaskan wilderness sites and homes.
Brian is currently looking for programmers to do a redesign and take caretotrade.com to the next level'.
