(PRWEB) September 9, 2004

http://www.hiidea.com, the Internet site of Hiidea Book & Music Store, has announced the release of its first "do it yourself" book trading platform that allows both buyers and sellers to list books wanted or for sale. The site is free to use for both sellers and buyers.

The site, Buy or Sell Books : Do it yourself (http://www.hiidea.com/posts.php), is the first to allow buyers and sellers to find or list a book in their local community, sorted by universities or cities. The site has attracted a large number of college students who are now able to find and buy used textbooks from their neighbours at the same campus.

Allen Goldstein, a computer science student at New York University, said, "Instead of going to eBay and spending hours and dollars without much success in selling my last year's textbooks, I can now go straight to Buy or Sell Books : Do it yourself http://www.hiidea.com/posts.php on

http://www.hiidea.com, and sell them to my buddies right here. I sold three books in a week, and get extra cash to buy new books for this sememster. Best of all, I paid no fee and the service is free at http://www.hiidea.com." Gil Diller, a doctorate student at MIT, was able to pick up a hard to find reference book that is used only in few universities, is excited: "I have been searching for this book for 3 months and nobody has it. I found it in Buy or Sell Books : Do it yourself (http://www.hiidea.com/posts.php). I can't believe the guy living in my apartment building got a copy, and it is in excellent condition. I was able to pay cash and pick it up right away. No shipping needed."

Mr. Peter Jin, the CEO of Hiidea Book & Music Store, was impressed by the warm remarks. He believes the site will have a large following once more and more people know about it. "It is free. It is the first site that allows college students nationwide to trade locally on campus. Once you know about it, you will keep coming back. This site will travel by mouth."

Main Street Fair Presents a New Profit Center for Online Buyers and Sellers Through Easy-to-Use Classified Ads and Auctions Site

Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. (Vocus) June 12, 2009

A new easy-to-use online auction and classified ads site that serves as a profit center for buyers and sellers, while providing a platform for raising funds for schools, is making its debut this week.

Main Street Fair is a no- or low-cost classified ads and online auction site with categories ranging from free stuff to used electronics to cars, which contributes a percentage of its income to schools sellers choose across America. The concept is a result of a single mother of an 11-year-old who became frustrated by dismal education funding and also realized that people don't have the money to continually make school contributions.

"My goal was to create an online auction and classified ads site that is easy for people to understand and use, yet supports education without costing users anything extra," said Lisa Porter, CEO/President, Main Street Fair. "It's a winner's circle: Main Street Fair donates to the schools, sellers get rid of things they don't want and buyers find great deals. Now, people can make an impact on education simply by doing what they would do anyway--buying and selling."

Main Street Fair also is intended to give college students a break by offering textbook listings for free.

"It's hard enough for students to deal with the rising cost of education so they need all the help they can get," said Porter. "By making it possible to list books for free, college students won't have to pay for typical markups. Textbooks are a huge expense as it is."

Companies can also promote themselves using Main Street Fair's banner ad program, which may be linked to their website. This in itself could increase their website traffic dramatically. Additionally, advertisers will have access to a detailed statistical report to monitor banner and text ads using real-time information. This comprehensive report includes the number of impressions, clicks and click through rate (CTR) to keep ads performing at their maximum potential.

Main Street Fair also expects to draw a large number of storefronts, charging an introductory offer of only $ 15 per month with unlimited listings. By offering storefront owners a variety of templates to choose from, a unique online address, logo upload capabilities, and much more, people can virtually have their own online auctions and classified ads site without the cost or liability of ownership.

"Main Street Fair is exceptionally straightforward and simple to use," said Porter. "Even opening a storefront doesn't require additional training."

As customers benefit, so will education. The more people that use Main Street Fair to buy and sell, whether through its classified ads or auctions, the more money the schools will earn.

"Main Street Fair is starting on the ground floor and, over time, expects to generate significant ongoing revenue for schools," said Porter. "The site benefits buyers, sellers, schools and students."

The company is headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita. For more information on Main Street Fair, please call (877) 797-1398 or log on to http://www.mainstreetfair.com.
