Talking Alternative to Ebay and Craigslist

There is an alternative to the ultra expensive ebay and it's called Trade Your Items with Uberworm. They have combined the best of both worlds from craigslist and ebay. Like craigslist, it is a local online platform for people to buy, sell, and most importantly BARTER an item or even a service. Like ebay, it utilizes an auction style format, but not in the traditional sense. Instead of the seller starting the auction at a certain price and having a set period of time in which the highest bidder wins, Uberworm utilizes a more friendly interactive approach to the bidding system. A user will post an item for sell or barter and from a list offers made on the item or service, the poster will have a choice of the best offer he or she deems most attractive. Another great aspect of the site is how the bidding system works. Because all offers made on a particular item or service are visible by the public, it creates a "bidding war" amongst the users which ultimately benefits the poster in which he or she can accept the best offer. Also, because the transactions occur locally, you don't have to worry about shipping or the costs associated with it. Also, there are no annoying listing price, gallery picture costs, and most annoyingly, NO final sale price, matter of fact there are No fees associated with Uberworm. Some other great aspects of the site is that there are no ads, or annoying sign up process. It is a new startup site and lack many posts, but it's starting to pick up a little steam, so I would really recommend everyone to post items or their services. I guarantee, you can definitely find a home for these items and services and get paid or barter for something you really want. Who knows?
