MerchMatch Does

When talking about MerchMatch to friends and family, the question I probably get most often is how MerchMatch is different than say, eBay or Amazon or any of the plethora of online retailers. In my mind, we are VERY different, and yet very similar at the same time.

So what makes MerchMatch different?

Fast – our system allows you to sell or find what you want and get it same day in most cases.
Simple – you tell us what you want and we’ll find it for you. No endless digging for a great match for what you’re really looking for. If you really want to go back a few years, you can even search for it.
No more bidding wars – Remember having to stay up late to make sure you win the bidding way for items you want? Not anymore. Let us fight your war for you.
No fees – WHAT?! Yes, you can buy AND sell on our site for free. Guaranteed. We won’t ever charge you.
The Secret Sauce – Yes, we have a secret sauce….and it just makes us awesome. You’ll come to know this soon. Very soon.

Our aim is truly to make getting what you want, for how much you want, happen in the blink of an eye.

What we’ve been up to

I’m sure a lot of you have been wondering what we’ve been up to. All this talk about launching Fall of 2009 was all talk, right?

Well, to say it plainly, yes.

To add some detail, we’ve had some hangups technically and relationally. Due to the nature of our lives right now, the MerchMatch Team is so involved in many other things that puts food on the table for each of our families. We have recently re-grouped with a new determination to bring you what you’ve been waiting so long to see! The newest, most innovative way to buy and sell on the internet. I would even go as far to say that Steve Jobs would call it a magical, revolutionary way.

Look for posts in the near future detailing what we’ll be doing and how we’ll be doing it. You’ll be just as excited as we are.

Thank you for continuing to stay with us through the hard times… now you’ll have a step ahead through the good times.

I am MerchMatch

Out to Change the World

Here at MerchMatch, we are big followers on what’s going on out in the internet and technology worlds, and we were very surprised when we heard that at the latest TechCrunch50, hosted in September of 2009 in San Francisco, California, there were many complaints that there weren’t any startups that were aiming for the home run, hitting for the record books, going all out, etc., but rather playing it safe, only trying to make something that already exists slightly better. Mashable quoted Tony Hseish, founder of Zappos.com, as saying, “I didn’t see anything that was trying to change the world.”

Be the first to know that MerchMatch has something special in store. Something that has never been seen before. Something that will change the world, that will change you as an individual in how you interact with everyone around you. We aim to simplify your life. We aim to change your life for the better. Some say Al Gore invented the internet…we’re just going to make it better. :)

Ready?

Buy. Sell. MerchMatch?

There’s a new player in the game. MerchMatch is a Utah-based company that is rapidly building momentum not only along the Wasatch Front but across the entire nation. Their creative viral and social marketing techniques have caught the eye of many, especially among college students, as they market toward the launch of their site later this year.

MerchMatch pairs up buyers and sellers with a comprehensive matching system that makes online buying and selling quicker and easier than ever before. Requests (posted by Buyers) are immediately linked with corresponding items (posted by Sellers). No more hunting through pages of random items to find what you want, and no more hoping someone stumbles upon what you’re selling. Best of all…. Buyers and Sellers use MerchMatch for FREE!

The fun doesn’t stop there. MerchMatch has incorporated a third party into their system: the “Merchant”. Merchants make money by purchasing the “Matches” made by MerchMatch and carrying out the transaction, buying from the seller at the asking price and then selling it to the buyer, pocketing the profit.

The new company is set to launch on November 7, 2009 with an inaugural party to be held in Provo, Utah that night. Fans are following MerchMatch on their website: www.merchmatch.com, their official blog, facebook, youtube, twitter and other social media sites.

Buy. Sell. Merch.
