Text and Sell: Launching Soon !

With its new site set to launch next week on 27th September, Textandsell encourages potential vendors to snap the item they want to sell. Then simply create a picture message (MMS) or text (SMS) which includes a description the item plus an indication of the desired sales price.

Finally send both text and/or photo to the company’s mobile phone number – +447740827827.

The site intends to use location based technology which will enable vendors to search for items in their general vicinity – rather than searching the whole of the UK.

Initially vendors will be charged a mere £1.50 to list the item for a whole week. Texts or picture messages sent to the company’s number are charged as a single premium rate SMS.

The company hopes that its Internet site will be perused by the younger generation. Textandsell claims 20 per cent of 25-30 year olds spend over 20 hours per week on the Net while this figure rises to 25 per cent for 16-24 year olds.
