Snappy Auctions Releases SnappySales Enterprise Software v.2 to Manage and Support eBay Drop-Off Centers Nationwide

Business Wire, June 20, 2004

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Snappy Auctions, the leader in bricks and mortar eBay consignment centers, announced today the release of the first completely independent web-based software program that can enable eBay drop off businesses nationwide to manage all aspects of consignment sales on eBay and other online auction media. The new software, SnappySales v. 2, is completely independent of any other online auction listing tools.

Currently, more than 120 independent bricks and mortar businesses have been launched to offer consignment selling on eBay. "Without the right systems in place, each of these independents can quickly get to a point where they will need this type of back end system to manage all aspects of their business, " said Debbie Gordon, CEO of Snappy Auctions. "With SnappySales, Snappy Auctions realized immediate efficiencies in labor management, customer service, accounting, quality control, and ultimately in profitability. We immediately minimized costs and maximized profits." said Debbie Gordon, CEO of Snappy Auctions.

Snappy Auctions has already helped one independent eBay drop-off store solve the problems associated with not having such a system. Formerly The Auction Point, Snappy Auctions of Manasquan New Jersey needed a solution for managing their business after being up and running for only 4 months. "Even Snappy Sales v. 1 was an incredible solution for us. The latest version will have a huge impact on this industry for other independent drop off centers that need a solution to manage their business and maximize profits," said Justin Kamm, founder of The Auction Point.

The development of SnappySales v. 2 was directed by Debbie Gordon and Merrill Bohren, both recognized experts in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, and seasoned experts in eBay consignment sales and operations. Gordon, founder of Snappy Auctions, and Bohren, Vice President of Technology Operations, lead the company in its growth by providing company owned and franchised locations with tools and training to develop a successful and streamlined eBay consignment drop off business. Snappy Auctions has plans for 37 additional stores in the east and Midwest by the end of Q3.

Snappy Auctions will be exhibiting the franchise program and software demonstrations of SnappySales software at eBay Live!, eBay's annual user conference in New Orleans June 24-26 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. At 3:00 on Friday, June 26, Debbie Gordon will be conducting an overview presentation at the Trading Assistant booth in the exhibitor hall.
