You know you want to

Three of my friends and I have been busy working on coming up with this web portal for the last couple of months.

WantToTrade.sg is a portal that brings together people who have one thing in common - to exchange items with one another for no money. It's the new eBay and we believe the idea will catch on.

It's a concept based on online communities where members not only log in for the purpose of trading 2nd hands items, but to also just hang around and chit chat in the message boards, share their product reviews, take part in the many promotions by our other partners and so on.

It was an idea started when Paddy was trying to sell off the LCD TV that his wife had won at a lucky draw sometime back. He posted the TV on Yahoo Auction expecting people to actually bid for it but some suckers bargained with him instead.

Typical, typical but they knew the TV was acquired at no cost and assumed that Paddy and Izel would settle for anything since even $0.01 is a profit as they paid nothing for it. It was a frustrating experience for them.

Paddy thought what if he could exchange his TV for something else that he needed instead? Is there an online source for that? He did some research, I was also asked for my opinion, one thing led to another, I thought it was a great concept and told him that I'd be interested to work with him if he wanted to take this thing to the next level.

So there. The short history of WTT.

We have a gameplan, the four of us.

Anyway, from the first day of WTT's launch to the next 30 days, we'd like to offer businesses to put up a 468 x 60 pixels size banner on WTT free of charge so you can judge for yourself how effective it is.

Just imagine the number of eyeballs seeing your company's banner and taking part in your promotions? So why not consider us as a positive leverage for the growth of your business?

We're currently on a roll, so don't wait any longer. thecalamityman @ gmail . com is the email you should reach.

WTT is out in stores soon. While stocks last. Batteries not included.
