(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA and SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/11 -- will introduce its social P2P marketplace at , held September 12-14, 2011 in Santa Clara, CA. Tradepal is a people-centric marketplace that helps users list, discover, share and trade unique items with trusted peers.
A 2011 NPD Group research study reveals that the average U.S. household has $7,000 of unused items. People recognize that it's a hassle to buy or sell online. Existing platforms are not compelling enough for the general public to leverage their huge inventory of unused items and trade online with their peers. Tradepal offers a true alternative to traditional auction and classifieds sites by allowing trusted users with real identities to seamlessly offer cash and/or barter for listed items.
"People are frustrated at the fact that they can't find an online venue to trade their valuable unused items with peers. Today's solutions, whether online marketplaces, classifieds sites, or even pawn shops, are either too sketchy, expensive or both, and certainly not an ideal solution for the mainstream consumer," said Karim Guessous, CEO and Co-founder of Tradepal. "Tradepal is going to make it exciting, safe, and affordable for everyone to trade with their peers online."
"The peer-to-peer marketplace space is one of the last bastions of Web 1.0 still holding out," said Matt Marshall, executive producer, DEMO. "Tradepal is ready to disrupt, and we are delighted to have them present their people-centric marketplace at Demo Fall 2011."
Karim Guessous, CEO, will be presenting Tradepal as part of the Consumer Technology Track on September 13, 2011 at 3:14 PM.
The platform will be available to test drive in the Demonstrator Pavilion at Booth D46.
