FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
New local online garage sale
Thrifty Adelaide individuals are buying and selling used stuff online
Community promotes site with free bumper magnets
ADELAIDE, S.A. - Newly-launched echoadelaide.com.au, a unique local online garage
sale, is a growing community of thrifty Adelaide individuals buying and selling used stuff
over the internet. Using echoadelaide.com.au, people interested in selling secondhand
goods can now more easily connect with local buyers.
To promote its launch, echoadelaide.com.au
is offering free bumper magnets to
Adelaide residents. A bumper magnet
is similar to a bumper sticker
except easily
removable. Magnets can be requested by visiting honkforgaragesales.com.
Echoadelaide.com.au
has been started by Jeff Erdman, a 25-year old garage sale
enthusiast living in Kurralta Park, as a means to encourage a regional reuse of goods and
divert reusable items from the landfill. Jeff studied at the University of South Australia.
“The support from the community so far has been amazing. We’ve only been giving out
bumper magnets for one week and I’ve already spotted a few on the road,” he says.
Currently the echoadelaide.com.au
site has just over 500 used items listed for sale at
any given time. Further goods are being added on a daily basis. The service is 100% free
to use with no pesky ‘add-on’ sales pitches. Echoadelaide.com.au
relies on banner
advertisements for revenue. For buyers and sellers in Adelaide looking for a rent-free
way to open up shop and clear out some
family “gems,” there’s no better solution than
echoadelaide.com.au’s virtual garage sale.
