SellItSpeedy.com - The Anti-eBay

If you're looking to sell something fast with minimal effort on your part, check out SellItSpeedy. SellItSpeedy automatically matches up potential buyers with the ad you place with them. They are extremely secretive about their technology, but they have enough confidence in it to say that if you don't receive three potential purchasers in 48 hours, they'll refund the cost of placing your ad (US $9.99 for general merchandise, and US $19.99 for boats, cars, and the like). SellItSpeedy manages to hook you up with potential buyers via it's elusive "formula", which from what little I can gather scans the net, classifieds, and auctions using Google Adwords, Microsoft AdCenter, Yahoo Paid Search, Miva and Affiliate Marketing to hunt for posts that indicate a need for what you're looking to sell. All transactions are done offsite; it's up to you and your buyer to figure out delivery, and payment time and method.

"Sell it Speedy Quicksale â„¢ is designed to help you sell ANYTHING* within 24-48 hours for less than the cost of a classified ad. How, you ask? You simply fill out the form and we do the rest. Within 24-48 hours we provide you with at least 3 persons contact information who are willing to buy what you are selling immediately at fair market value, GUARANTEE or you money back!"

It's reassuring that SellItSpeedy guarantees you three prospective buyers in a two-day span or your money back. If their hush-hush technology really works like they claim it does, it could be a powerful tool for matching up buyers with sellers across the net.

Honestly, to me this site seems like an online version of a low-budget infomercial. They make some outrageous claims ("It costs you hundreds of dollars to sell an iPod on Ebay that you wanted $75 for!), and is overly secretive about their technology. It's one thing to protect a patent-pending service, but it's entirely another to be so close-lipped about it that you can't gain the trust of potential customers. Nothing about this site would make me feel confident about using it, from the cost of placing an add to the infomercial-y jargon laden with grammatical errors to the transactions completely unsupported by the site.
