Bidville Throwing In The Towel…Transfer Your Listings to iOffer

June 2, 2008 - PRLog -- San Francisco, CA -- On the verge of Bidville's announcement that they will be closing its operations, iOffer, Inc. (http://www.ioffer.com), a leading online marketplace, wants to reiterate how convenient its Mr. Grabber tool is to implement a smooth transition for sellers to transfer their unsold items from Bidville to iOffer.

According to uBid.com Holdings CEO Jeff Hoffman, Bidville.com--a subsidiary of uBid.com--does not coincide with uBid's changing business strategy as a business to consumer excess inventory solutions company. Therefore, uBid is not able to support Bidville's consumer to consumer format and will be closing its operations in June.

As a multi-faceted and consumer-friendly online marketplace, iOffer is proud to provide its free Mr. Grabber tool to assist Bidville sellers in transferring and listing their unsold items onto the iOffer database before their listings expire.

Mr. Grabber (http://www.ioffer.com/item_transfers/mr_grabber) is a convenient tool that transfers ratings and unsold items from other online marketplaces, allowing iOffer members to spend more time interacting and negotiating rather than listing items and building their reputations. It is free to list at iOffer, and there are no listing expiration dates.

As of Tuesday, May 27, 2008, new sellers may not register or list any new items on Bidville. Existing auctions will not automatically re-list. On Friday, June 13, 2008, all auctions will close on Bidville and the web site will officially shut down. The "My Bidville" tab will become inactive on Tuesday, July 1, 2008, so all transactions must be completed by this date.

In order to preserve all unsold items, Bidville sellers are encouraged to utilize Mr. Grabber and start enjoying a better and highly satisfying online experience by becoming a part of the ever-growing iOffer community (http://www.ioffer.com/community).
