A new website called Realpeoplerealstuff.com is taking the eBay idea to a whole new level by adding video.
Like eBay, Realpeoplerealstuff.com is an online selling platform through which people can offload their surplus stuff. What’s new is its use of video – with a few clicks of a mouse, customers can upload their own video commercials, recorded on their video recorders, webcams, digital cameras or camera phones.
Not only is it cool to star in your own commercial, the videos allow you to add a useful extra layer of information to your sales pitch, especially when it comes to renting apartments or selling cars and other large items. The ads are organised by category and location, and users can enter text descriptions, prices, thumbnail photos and tags along with their video clips.
