Description:
Talk & Trade Live! (TTL) is a combination of Craigslist, eBay, and Skype with extras. At TTL, we want to simulate the "live trade show experience" online. At TTL, you experience buying and selling as if you were trading live, in person. You can SEE and HEAR the other person, are free to haggle and make deals, and make friends in the process. We take a hands-off approach to online sales, allowing users to trade in freedom, without cumbersome big-brother rules and regulations, and unnecessary expenses. We want to promote freedom and FUN while buying and selling items which interest you. Sellers create booths and add their items, just like a real trade show. Buyers enter booths, view items, and initiate conversations with sellers. Sellers are free to initiate conversations with buyers as well. This concept is also similar to a real brick-and-mortar storefront.
Currently TTL is focused on the Antiques & Collectibles market, but the concept and technology are versatile and can easily adapt to many venues.
