Thembid operates on a simple principle: customers know what they want and someone, somewhere has got it. Let´s say you need someone to fix your leaky roof; rather than wasting time researching the matter, post on Thembid and companies will compete to provide you service. Businesses get free advertising and direct customers. Customers in the meanwhile, get the best rates, and there´s no need to search through the yellow pages or super pages, or any pages really; Thembid takes care of the work for you. Ratings allow users to make informed decisions. Thembid currently only covers California, but it is free to use.
