Making online auctions more real-time – Auctionopia

So we thought we would showcase another start up we like – and this is interesting and might be a good character defination of the collective soul of Tattletech. We like the company because of two main reason 1) their CEO’s attitude and 2) the overall nature of the start up itself (can it work, does it have mass market (aka the normal people out side of the tech bubble) appeal. So without delay, here is a company we are keeping an eye on.
Auctionopia - Fresh (mostly) out of college and starting up in a location that clearly is NOT known for start ups, Virginia Beach, Virginia is the feisty start up that wants to change how you interact with the seller in online auctions. eBay is too slow and you gotta wait around for that pesky auction to end and there is no real-time interaction with the seller. Auctionopia says, whose got time for that when you can be out living life (and surfing in Virginia Beach) talk to the other party via IM and get the show on the road. But it is more than that, you have more control of price, when you want to bid and you can have a direct dialog with the seller. Sure it’s not eBay but I bet you forgot about all the folks that said, ‘why would we buy something in an auction online?’ Plus, I like the CEO, smart, savvy, not afraid to admit when he makes a mistake – a real thinker, that’s sexy.
